Howells v Trefigin Oil & Trefigin Quarries Ltd

An incident occurred when a cyclist rode his bicycle into the rear of a lorry which was projecting slightly into the road.

 

Howells v Trefigin Oil
The cyclist was found to be 75% contributory negligent as the lorry was clearly within his line of sight for some time and he should have seen it. The defendant appealed against the 25% appointed to them and, on appeal, the cyclist was found to be 100% responsible.
