In reply to Grace. We also have a responsibility as flight deck crew. The car would have been visible. We have a duty to ensure our path is clear when taxiing

In reply to Grace. not quite, if the aircraft is on push or under tow then you'd be correct, however, if it's moving under it's own power i.e. engines running then it is down to the operating crew to make sure that the areas are clear before proceeding. Also, vehicles on the ground must be aware of aircraft movements, and not, for example, drive into the side of one or drive behind when the anti-collision light (flashing red beacon) is on.

In reply to Phil. Ever looked out of a plane? A tiny thing like that is not visible. The cockpit is designed for flying, the ground crew have the responsibility to ensure the path is clean and clear.
