I think what you are referring to is when the RTA was extended to public places in 1991, but only 3 offences apply in public places:
1. Death by dangerous driving
2. Dangerous driving
3. Careless driving

Giving way to others etc. have never applied to public places. A consultation took place in 2005 to consider extending some other road traffic act offences to public places but has not been actioned in parliament.

Thanks for all the advice, I have notified my insurance, but have told them I dispute liability based on his speed, we will see what they say
