Re: Goooooooo Bill
"Er yes they would if you bothered to read what I wrote. If a car had a fault such that visibility was impeded or the brakes didn't apply quickly enough then the manufacturer shares some of the blame for any accident that those flaws contributed to."
Actually - you said design, not fault.
If the brakes failed at that instant then you get to share the blame with someone - but that's why there are two braking systems, so that you never have total failure at one instant.
If there was only one braking circuit, and the master cylinder exploded then I'd start to blame manufacture...
