Now if a D4 squashes the user/driver/rider of an illegal motorised vehicle will the driver of the taxed/insured/MOT driver be responsible for the ambulance charge?

Reason I ask on our unclassified NSL 60mph road we have a candidate for this year Darwin award riding an electric scooter at a guess in excess of 15mph.

With the new changes to the highway code yes you will be deemed to be at fault.

It would be up to you to prove you are not.

So you could have your Disco parked up perfectly legally and correctly, and if one of these E scooter riders, or a pedestrian, or a cyclist injures themselves on your motor vehicle, then the NHS is entitled to ask your insurers for costs for the required treatment.
Crazy, but that's the law.


I'm not sure that part is quite right. AFAIK the charge can only be claimed as a result of bodily injury (including fatal injury) caused by, or arising out of, the use of a motor vehicle on a road’. If the vehicle is parked up then it isn't the cause nor in use when someone runs into it
