I think this is one where we have split opinions, however, the law will come down on the side of the Porsche owner with regard to her damage whether you like it or not.
You could also say that if she had not been parked there, then the circumstances could have been a different story as it broke the bus driver's speed. The bus would still have shot across the road, as he did (for whatever reason), and there would have been flowing oncoming traffic which would have been hit by the bus, or the traffic would have hit the bus.
Afraid the fact that she was parked illegally is nothing to do with her damage/insurance claim. She committed no further driving offence than this.
Restless made a remark that maybe the bus driver "looked like he did it on purpose"
That would be fun, wouldn't it ? ... spot an illegally parked car, and we can all go smashing into it knowing that we would not be prosecuted, and our insurance company would not be liable for any payment.

personaly i think we shoudl have a special unit in every town that tows away any car parked illigally and either put a huge fine to get it back to fund the system or simply crush it and get the scrap value to fund the scheme
oh and instead of 3 points for parking on white zigzags it should be an instant 12 month ban from driving and have teh car crushed

You have a warped mine Accyman .. but most times I like it .....
if i was a traffic warden i would be to arrogant/ignorant drivers what hitler was to the jews
anyone who drives down blackburn road and through accy center on a regular basis will like me have an imaginary button which blows up cars and especially for those taxis that block union street outside farmfoods because theres space for 4 or 5 taxis to wait for customers but they line up blocking teh road all the way down to b&m
next topic - failing to indicate = executed at dawn

they should be dragged out of tehir cars and actually executed in teh center of teh roundabout as a deterant to others and left there to rot
Accyman, your assumptions are 100% wrong.
I will walk a mile rather than park in a position that causes problems and inconveniences other drivers or is illegal.
Its just that I was not watching that video with any pre conceived ideas about women who drive porsches...
When you pull out from behind a bus you do NOT do it fast and in such a way that you cannot control it, you do it slowly - looking in all directions and being prepared to stop.
IF the bus was mechanically correct and the driver paying attention & being careful as the law requires then the bus would have stopped, it would not have hit the car.
Parking was not the cause of this accident, whatever it was that caused it, just because she was illegally parked she did not cause the accident, and as the bus driver
who represents the bus company was the one in charge of a moving vehicle then the bus company are liable for the damage cased to the car by their representative.
I too think that her parking ticket should have been enforced, however those who are in charge may have considered that she has lost enough
with her car being totalled and used some compassion when cancelling it (if thats what they did).
Please stop making assumptions based on your own bias on those that park illegally.

Trouble is accyman your far to softthey should be dragged out of tehir cars and actually executed in teh center of teh roundabout as a deterant to others and left there to rot
Whoever it was may well have picked your post here at random, in order to conceal their identity - by mentioning it you have only increased their saddo feelings of delight at your annoyance
ps - it means nothing but I give you some good karma anyway

I think that aliens took control of the bus driver's mind ....
You guys must be seriously short of news to get so uptight about this incident ... every winter in Kingston the odd illegally parked car gets clipped by a snowplow, so what .... if you leave your car on a street that will be plowed out, you take your chances.
