This is a situation known as 'Contributory Negligence." Both operators are At Fault, and it will take a court to decide what percentage each one carries. The motorcycle rider was speeding illegally, apparently; and the driver of the car has the absolute responsibility to leave the private drive in safety. The statement that the driver did not have time to yield is a ridiculous statement, akin to "he appeared out of nowhere." Vehicles cannot defy the laws of physics, and transporters are not in use. I am not a judge, but I would say that the driver of the car leaving the driveway is at fault for the accident.

Paved Driveways Can Be Effected By Common Mistakes?

A properly paved driveway has the ability to add a great deal of visual appeal to your home and value as well. Many people choose to have a professional paving contractor create these types of driveways for them. However, to save money more people are choosing to do this type of project themselves. If completing your own paved driveway project there are some common mistakes that you will want to avoid. These mistakes can result in just the opposite results if they occur.Select the Right Size for Your DrivewayWhile leaving a little extra space for additional parking in your driveway, you do not want to over do it. Have a driveway that is too large can create a look that suggests your home is unbalanced. A good way to determine the right size driveway for your home is to create a space that will comfortably accommodate your own personal vehicles. Allowing too little space can have the same outcome. While too large of a driveway creates an unpleased vision, too little of a driveway can make maneuvering and parking a frustrating problem. With the time and money spent on creating an attractive paved driveway, you definitely want to make sure that it meets your needs.Consider Long Term NeedsWhen considering what types of materials to use, the size and the necessary upkeep to maintain the paving style you select, make sure that you take into consideration the future needs that you may have. If you have children who will start driving within a few years and may own their own vehicles, you will want to make sure that extra space is accounted for. If you are planning on using materials that will require a great deal of upkeep, think of whether or not you will have the time to devote to doing this. By being prepared before beginning your paving project, you can save a great deal of time later by not having to redo your driveway. Properly Sealing Your Driveway Is ImportantWhen paving your driveway it is important to apply a sealer to protect the work you have just completed. This will help protect your driveway from damaging weather and other harmful materials or elements that can impact it. It is extremely important to follow the directions for your specific paving methods, especially an asphalt style driveway. By applying a sealer too soon or not soon enough will impact tee strength and durability of the driveway. For the best results you should wait 6 months after the completion of the paving project before sealing. The sealer will then need to be reapplied once every 1 to 3 years.
