At the roadside he admitted liability but then after speaking to his (traffic cop) dad he decided to chance it and say i had run the lights as he was waiting at a green light (for straight on) and a filter arrow to tell him when he was safe to go, if he had the filter light then obviously mine would be red, as it was mine was 100% green as it went green in front of me and the filter wouldnt come on for about another minute or so, he argued it all the way until i pointed out the the insurance company there were brand new cctv cameras watching the junction, luckily it caught him jumping the filter, mine being on green and him racing the corsa in front of him which was why his impact speed was 50+ mph as he hit me.
Unfortunately he was watching a few lasses on the corner as he turned in and didnt see me at all, so he didnt even brake, so there were no skidmarks to measure to determine his speed:eek:
He got away with attending one of those 'driver improvment' courses:cry:
I was told this many years ago by my driving instructor as i pulled out in front of someone on a 'mock' test, he slowed down and undertook me in the bus lane (which at that time i shouldve used) and he told me i wouldve failed due to incorrect use of bus lane, i.e. not using it when i should, and dangerous driving due to causing the other driver to alter their driving because of my actions, if you cause another car to brake or swerve because of something you have done, you are at fault:thumb:Quote:

im really glad your getting it sorted again mate,

My old 205 van got wrote off as some guy pull out from a T junction in front of me, he said he never saw us, the fact i took the action to swerve meant he hit the side off my van instead of us hitting the side of his..Quote:

Although i do still know where he lives.. :witch:
As for the people who pull out at one junction only to travel down one junction and make you brake like hell when theirs no traffic behind you, these people need to wake up and think..
This is true actually, I failed a driving test for causing someone going what must have been around 60 to slow down by 'pulling out' on them from around half a mile away!Quote:

Depends where they hit you. If the damage is on the front (of their car), then they pulled out in front of you, clear cut case. If the damage is closer to the rear, then you failed to stop in time and will probably go 50/50.Quote:
