Pedestrian and cycle crossing priority

Check whether the crossing had signals, whether the pedestrian had started crossing and whether the vehicle was turning. Each party's position affects the duty involved.

What to check in your case

Describe the width of the crossing and any vehicles blocking the view. Specify whether the allegation concerns priority, overtaking near the crossing or parking on it.

Documents for your defence
