Whilst watching an American police chase show earlier my mind began to wander.
If I was a driving on the M50 in the slow lane and I carelessly pulled out into the overtaking lane without checking my mirrors, and was rear ended by the car in the overtaking lane because I didn't have enough time or space to complete the manoeuvre. Who would be responsible for covering any damages caused by the accident if the car that hit me was stolen, driven by an unlicensed driver, exceeding the speed limit 140km/h in a 120km/h zone and being chased by the Gardai?
Another scenario, who would be at fault and liable if I was turning right into a street with a no right turn sign and I was hit head on by a drunk driver?
I apologise if this is not a suitable question for this forum.
