I wouldn't want to try and defend myself in that case if that pin fails and causes damage/harm to others. I imagine your insurance is also invalid through gross negligence.
Mind you he has a merc and they have some weird foot brake. Being as he finds BMWs too twitchy to drive, I told him the handbrake pedal is there so he can use his walking stick to put it on.

You honestly believe an insurance company has a valid claim to suggest that because the parking pin in the transmission catastrophically failed that you were grossly negligent?
Good god. Glad I don't come here for legal advice. |
It's the law in the UK - see section 239 of the Highway Code
