Rating: driver is not responsible for soiled clothing pedestrian

Splashed the pedestrian, a motorist on the roadside when driving through a puddle on the road, he must not pay for the cleaning of clothes. At least it is not principally the charge to make, having driven in the face of the water too quickly. This has now decided the district court Itzehoe, confirming the legal force of a corresponding decision (Ref.

1 S 186/10). As the German Bar Hotline (www. attorney hotline. Com) reports were to the thaw on the streets of the North Sea spa Büsum were puddles everywhere. go down as a car when driving through such a real water fountain on a pair of pedestrians on the edge of the road, had the passers required for cleaning the clothes from € 39.60 to the driver.

Finally, he could have verneiden the damage when he was traveling at walking pace, the argument goes. The judges saw otherwise. A car driver is not obliged to drive through puddles on the ground, always at a walking pace. In case of rain would otherwise also entire villages to be passed at a walking pace to avoid possible impairment of pedestrians, which would affect road traffic unreasonable.

Such a count would have to weather pedestrian contrast with splashes of water and, eventually, prepared through clothing on it. (Ampnet / jri)
