While visiting a popular welsh trail centre person A parks in a space, opens tbf both front car doors and then places their helmet on the floor beyond their open drivers door. Person B while attempting to park, drives over unseen helmet.

Should the driver have seen the lid or should the first person not have placed the lid there?

It could have been a childs face….

Are you driver A or B?

pics,or it didn’t happen……….

oh and,PMSL 😆

Driver A might be excused if it was a helmet like this

Person A for being a numskull by the sounds of it 😉

If you feel the need to ask then I’m guessing you’re person A ?

Next time leave your helmet on the roof of the car 💡

“Driver hits stationary object” – driver’s fault, no?

I’d say the bloke who left the helmet on the floor. It’s a carpark, not your front room.

Sounds like person A was obstructing the Queen’s Highway, and probably owes person B for a new tyre (which might have been damaged and therefore no longer safe at autobahn speeds).

Driver A might be excused if it was a helmet like this

So could driver b, I almost didn’t spot it in the pic ………..

It could have been a childs face….

Don’t they tend to be connected to child bodies? Aren’t they normally not found lying on the ground in trail centre car parks. I think driver B, who was driving slowly tbf would’ve noticed.

Is it a private car park?

Driver A is to blame – his responsibility to keep his stuff safe. Wish I’d heard the “discussion” after though.

Was it a decent helmet you ran over?

They’re both silly mistakes to me – unless the driver had a motive to intentionally damage the helmet, or the helmet owner had a motive to intentionally damage the vehicle.
I hope they both apologised to each other.

Strangely person A just wandered off with their mates grumbling.

If it was something big (like a bike) then it would be obvious but a helmet is probably quite hard to spot. Was it a dark colour?

Turning up to a bike theme park, by car no less, was the first act of wrongness in the incident pit.

Was driver B wearing a seatbelt?

Rotational injury?

Dark colour for helmet-check
Seatbelt-check

Conti vert pros ❗

The person who left his helmet on the floor, in a car park, in a parking bay, was stupid.

But the car driver failed to notice a crash helmet, next to a cyclist who was unpacking his gear, at a destination popular with cyclists.

Judge Knob says the blame lies with the car driver.

Now what?

How come you didn’t see it ?

Sounds like bad driving to me.
It shouldn’t have been there obviously, but it could have been something that would damage the car, so you should have seen it really.

Look at it this way,

Would you be having the same dilemma if instead of a helmet it was their dog (or small child’s face) that’d just been mown down?

Did there not use to be a helmet expert on Singletrack?

Are you related to a copper? If so, ask them

Car driver should be aware when parking car.
