The question was whether the driver caused a death through an act that, while lawful, was grossly negligent because he had allegedly failed to consider his duty of care to other road users. The jury concluded that Mr Aydogdu was not guilty of this offence.
After the verdict, Keith Harding, Sam Harding's father, said: "The man concerned was not driving his car, it was in the park mode, so it doesn't fall into categories of careless driving [or] dangerous driving.
"There is a gap, a real gap in the law, which I strongly hope my son's death will not have been in vain and will help to fill that gap."]
This is a good idea:
"But there has to be education too. In the Netherlands, they teach people to open a car door with their opposite hand - so if you were in a right-hand-drive car here, you would reach over with your left hand. That means your body turns and you look over your shoulder."
