Hello,

I was wondering if if a share of responsibility existed in traffic accidents when a lobby and its trailer are involved and have different insurance polices. In France the lobby is held responsible for 70% of the damage it caused, 30% for the trailer.

Thanks in advance

Do you mean 'lorry' where you say 'lobby'. If not, what is a lobby?

Surely the responsibility is on the lobby driver irrespective if drawing a trailer.

In France and most of continental Europe the lobby and the trailer have separate registrations and insurance.

In the UK, a trailer is regarded as part of the towing vehicle it's attached to and damage to third parties is covered by the towing vehicle's insurance
