      General question only, based on limited detail. I only expect general answers.

      Car A drives into off road into a shared driveway at approx 12kmph – this is not in dispute. The group of units/flats speed limit is 7kmph, with 2 signs clearly visible on entry.

      Car B reverses out of car park and hits car A on the shared driveway. Car B appears at fault based on these facts, however…

      2 Questions

      1. Are owners corporations considered private property, so each party pays their own cost?

      If not.

      2. Does the fact that the driver of car A was driving over the speed limit (Obviously not an official Vic Roads speed limit) *possibly leave him in *part liable for the accident? Is this arguable or is it totally irrelevant?

      Thanks for your help.
