By god airbags hurt when they go off

Only the last line was tongue in cheek, the rest was serious - I know its the "given rule" but seems that sometimes its not fair, although the explanation for this case makes sense.
 
I understand the fault rule with regards it rear ending somebody, many years ago I went into the back of someone (gently) who went to go off a busy roundabout in commuting traffic and then performed an emergency stop.

However, the girl is a bloody idiot for using her handbrake to stop a moving car in anything other than a situation where her foot brakes have failed. I cannot get close to understanding what would possess her to do that, she'd never have been taught it... Just weird.

Glad you're ok Shambolic :thumbsup:
 
I still think this one is closer to a 50:50 as yanking the handbrake is dangerous driving. If she adds whiplash it's taking the piss.

Edit - I guess a similar situation with no lights if she'd stalled. Tough call really.

As bing said, glad nobody hurt, cars can be fixed
