There are some responsibilities that we as aircraft commanders cannot avoid I'm afraid and ensuring the clearance of your aircraft as it passes another on the ground is one of them. Assuming there was no technical failure of the steering etc. then unfortunately, regardless of the clearance, taxiway markings and position of the other aircraft etc. the Captain of the moving aircraft has to take responsibility for it, it's what you sign up for when you sit in the left seat and there is no getting away from it.
