- Our investigations with the local authorities revealed that Mr Walter does not have any outstanding traffic offence(s) currently. During our interview, he had taken photographs of the insured vehicle while waiting for the tow truck to tow it away. These photographs were subsequently forwarded to us.
- From these photographs, we noticed that the damages sustained on the vehicle were mostly at the front and right portion as a result of the collision. The general surroundings observed in these photographs seem to conform to the circumstances of the accident and the information that were narrated to us by Mr Walter. The road surface was also observed to be wet, corresponding to the wet weather condition at the material time of accident.

- Mr Walter confirmed that from the maintenance until the date of accident, both he and his mum did not encounter any unusual behaviour with the insured vehicle.
- Basing on the available evidence, we are of the view that the damages to the insured vehicle SKE 6090T are consistent to the circumstances of the accident as reported by the driver of insured vehicle SKE 6090T.
- The physical inspection carried out to the insured vehicle SKE 6090T had also revealed that its 4 tyres were in serviceable condition with remaining thread depth of approximately 5 mm each. Static tests to its steering system could not be conducted due to the damages to the insured vehicle’s undercarriage while the braking system had revealed no abnormality. There was no fluid leak observed from the insured vehicle SKE 6090T during this physical inspection.
- There was no evidence found to suggest that possible drink driving had existed at the material time of accident considering that Mr Walter was able to take clear photographs of the insured vehicle at different
It was found in the respondents submissions that a duty of care was necessary. The issue of negligence he believed was unsustainable as the risks were minimal and it was not unusual to take one’s eyes off the road. Causation was not satisfied as the judge concluded that the respondent would not have had enough time in any circumstance to avoid a collision with the cow.
On the morning of the 17th of May 2005, Nola Walker was involved in a two vehicle motor accident. She had just dropped her son off at his new job, when she ignored a give way sign at an intersection. When the ambulance arrived the officers, Nucifora and Blake, recall Walker being “able to converse” and “orientated”. Blake conducted multiple assessments and did her vital signs twice. The results deemed Walker to be within normal ranges, with the only noticeable trauma involving superficial skin injuries on the left hand, an abrasion over the right clavicle which was assumed to be a seatbelt injury. Ms Walker denied she was ever in pain. Nucifora mentioned on several occasions that it would be best to take Walker to the hospital to be further
After sifting through the evidence, the culprit of the accident can be determined. The accident occurred on 7:45 AM on the date of September 11, 2001. At at stoplight, four cars were stopped, but a car accident occurred. Based on prior evidence from other cases, the back car is usually the culprit. Dr. Otto Mobile’s interview shows that he was not in a rush, going to lecturing a class, and he was behind a dancing woman, presumably dancing to music. Also, Ken Notstop was not in a rush as well and he was part of a tree business. Following Ken, Kelly Sion was interviewed, showing that she had a song stuck in her head. Due to the fact she wanted to exercise before she was supposed to open the gym, she was in a rush.. Anita Newcar was in a rush due to the fact that she was already late to work, and she was behind a car with trees and a nest on the back. Due to the fact that Kelly had a song stuck in her head, she could’ve been the woman dancing in a car that Dr. Otto Mobile mentioned, showing that she was in front of Otto. Because Ken was the only person

“Along with the help of the (Specialized Collision Reconstruction Team) we determined the driver of the motorcycle, Mr. Wooten, was not at fault in this accident,” he said. “SCRT was involved in the first investigation but to a lesser degree because it was a non-fatal crash.” According to initial reports, multiple witnesses saw three men, including Marlow, the driver of the truck, abandon the scene, leaving Wooten on the side of the road. Witnesses said the men left in a different green truck. Before first responders arrived, Wooten was assisted by nearby residents, one of whom was a retired nurse.

The majority of driving offences are contained in the Road Traffic Act 1988. This essay will mostly examine causing death by unlicensed, disqualified or uninsured driving (s3ZB) and causing death by careless or inconsiderate driving. (s2B) There is often a distinction between constructive and non constructive strict liability offences. These offences are considered to be constructive strict liability since the prosecution does not need prove there was any fault in relation to causing the death.
Knowing how to drive a car myself, I can’t expect an accident to occur. It just happens without your knowledge and sometimes without your fault too. It’s better to take precautions just in case such a thing happens. This will surely help you financially for the repairs of the vehicle.
