  • Hard to believe the passenger who didn't complain of any injuries at the time or after the crash yet is suing the BBC for £150000
  • for personal injury 
  • He is the professional driver to told Freddy don't lift off , full power the car won't roll 
  • Freddy had concern with  the front wheel lifting and definitely comes off worse receiving duff advice
  • Talk about a hard neck and a bent lawyer advising him

Certainly doesn't appear he's doing himself any favours based on those details. Surprised its taken this long to come out that there was a passenger.

Everyones fault apart from their own. Why is everyone looking to blame other people for stuff...

I have no idea what you're talking about but,

1. injuries from a crash aren't always obvious and can take days to manifest, and

2. liability for a driving 'accident' rests wholly with the driver regardless of what a passenger may have told them.

Deosn't stop many people on forums but at least you admit it.

I think more of us should prefix posts with this disclaimer, albeit there is no point in reading anything which follows.

This driving accident rests wholly with the driver does this include a learner taking instructions from the driving instructor involved in an accident and carrying out what they're told

I think you should look up the page and read what the professional who was getting paid to instruct Freddy told him

What shite.

From the BBC website

"There were microphones in the car, and BBC Studios said Flintoff expressed concern at one point when the car's front wheel lifted as he took a corner, but was reassured by Rees that it could not roll over.

Approaching the same corner again, Rees told Flintoff to "now turn right... now full power, full power", BBC Studios' defence filings said.

The document claimed that "a front wheel lifted and because on the claimant's instruction the presenter continued to apply power the Morgan turned over"

- yeah, that's wholly on Flintoff :rollseyes:

Whilst the bbc website might have a certain self interest it definitely seems a somewhat optimistic lawsuit from the instructor.  Maybe there is some off the track pressure etc which he thinks he has a case for.

Hmm  not sure why cougar is getting flak here. It's the OP  who is at fault here. I also have no little idea what the OP is talking about . Bit of context/ background would be great....

I'm pretty sure than any lawyer advising either of them to try and make money out of this would be told to "jog on".

Well yes but.  Maybe if an OP would post a link to what they were starting a thread about, that might be helpful.  No?  Because

Remind me, who was driving?

You get behind a wheel, you accept the responsibility that this comes with.  Whether you're a professional TV presenter of a motoring programme or a single mum popping out to Lidl for oven chips.  You reckon many insurance claims were settled with "well my passenger told me to drive faster"?  Come on now.

I have a fairly good idea.  But, thank you.
