Salter's Hill case - you decide

One for the civil connoisseurs at one of our favourite
locations, Salter's Hill, Lambeth.
Was this case at the tribunal allowed or refused?

Regardless of the never-ending debate around exactly at what
point are you considered "committed" into the restriction (by
the time the car driver would have seen the van, reacted and
braked to a halt, they'd probably have been in the restriction),
the van driver was an aggressive ****. They delayed themselves
far more by asserting their perceived "priority", forcing the
confrontation and faffing around that ensued, than they would if
they'd just allowed the car to complete its traversal of the
restriction.

Yes, I have to agree with S T above. Maybe the car driver could
have taken it a bit slower just in case this happened.But
there's so many aggressive drivers around these days, why cause
more problems?

imo the car was in the zone before the van had even fully
completed his turn and was going to fast. I wouldn't have
reversed.

The appeal was allowed. Yes the van driver went too fast but of
course the poor driver with the PCN did gave way by reversing!

I have reviewed the CCTV footage in this case. The footage shows
that the driver of Mr Nicholson's vehicle approached the give
way line with due caution and crossed the line as a van came
round the corner from the other direction, travelling at some
speed and driven in such a manner as to block the exit of Mr
Nicholson's vehicle. The driver of Mr Nicholson's vehicle then
reversed to give way to the van.
There is no signage to stop at the give way line. I am satisfied
that the driver approached the give way line with caution and
was caught unawares by the manner of travel of the van coming
from the opposite direction. As Mr Nicholson's vehicle was then
reversed to give way, it must follow that the alleged
contravention did not occur.

I wonder what the van driver would have done if it were a large
vehicle and not a small car? or maybe if it had been me who
would not have reversed >:(
