The OP is approaching a round about and the Peugeot seems to think that because the OP is going fairly slowly that he can push his luck and barge out into the road, or that it is some indication that he should. I hope the Peugeot driver was either fairly young or a new driver because they are showing a lack of experience of driving here. My basis for this is that they are coming from a minor road onto a main road and they think they are going to get 2 for 1. The VW went before him, his turn is after the next car has passed. The VW actually does the right thing and uses the yellow box in his favour but the Peugeot is just being stupid. I agree that this is a pretty small day to day incident, but I don't think the thread was claiming it was anything major. It's easy to look in hindsight and say the other guy did stop, but you can't say that until after he has stopped, or is in the side of you. |

And yes, later on it may have confused the other driver but if you look at somebody like 'Are you idiot?' and other driver still tries to drive into a space where you cannot go physically, what does that means bud? I do not need people telling me that I was correct but at least the other driver was wrong. Quote:
Perhaps I should have ignored it and not posted it here. Overconfidence or utterly stupidness of the other driver made me start this thread. I will say, watch the video again. When I moved again, the other driver started moving as well. WHY?

Just to add into whole scenario, if it was - teenager / failry young driver - Very elderly driver - or a normal Joe in that car, I would have ignored. What pisses me that it was a lady driver who was in her 40-50s and possibly a professional (lease car) who drove like a .... and not even a sense of guilt. I showed the video to my other half and she commented that other driver was 'idiot' and then I told her that it was a female!'. No surprise to her but it surprised her that why is she trying to enter into that space and trying to pull out.

either you let the other side go or you go, there shouldn't have been a hesitation from the start IMO... From the start I said that the other driver is a cock for trying to push in...Not putting the blame on the OP at all. But the OP did initially hesitate, hence making the other driver think that she could "push" her way in... And I didn't say that the OP is trying to make this situation a sky news event of the year. He just posted a video and asked "who is at mistake?" ...Just giving my opinion....I'm not the world's best driver or the stig...just giving an opinion, so everyone chill out! |

Exactly, what I said! In your posts, you were not too clear about on what kind of "look" you gave the other driver after you stopped... if you say you gave her the "are you an idiot" look, then clearly I rightly say that she was a cunt rammer for trying to push in! |

Bloody hell...i've watched that video for about 7 times now!!!
I'm taking about the hesitation at 1:04, where you nearly stopped. Anyway, no matter what, if the other car did hit you. It would have been the other party's fault! Actually, if the bitch pushed her way in and you hit her on her side door. Would it be you "at fault" then? Would be good if others could comment. |

ZLTM: IMO it would still be the bitch's fault if she pushed in and Mak went into her. It's his right of way. She should make sure the road is clear and it is safe to pull out.
I don't think there is any way the driver on the main road could be at fault, unless that driver was speeding or something. I think that's right? |

I guess if it has happened and no witnesses, other party could argue that she was stationary with the nose of her car out and while passing I steered to left and hit her car. It seems impossible, but I have gone through. When there is no witness, its your works against theirs. And hence I opted for dashcam. Quote:
- I was over speeding (which is not the case in the video, but if there was no video, then they could make it up) - I failed to notice the potential hazard - Since the other car was first on the road, it would be classed as my fault. I hit that car from the front of my car make me culprit. Sad, but thats truth. I had an accident where bloody foreigner truck hit my car where I was changing lane from the middle lane to outer lane in a round about, and due to heavy traffic, I had to break. Three wheels of my car was in the outer lane, and one wheel on the middle lane. I was stationary for at least 5 seconds before the incident happened. On the outer lane, a L hand truck failed to notice my car and hit my car on the rear panel and NSR door. Funny thing is that he was not going to take that exit and was going straight. But as it was 5:15pm (rush hour), nobody stopped and there was no witness. I called the police straight away and that person gave wrong reg no. to the police. I guess Police was so busy that they failed to notice if the reg no. was correct. I had few photos, and from that we established the correct reg. number. Due to lack of witnesses it settled on 50:50 and took two and half years. My solicitor was not happy to take it further as it would cost too much money. Other party was happy as they settled it 50:50. And other party made following accusation; 1- I did not signal (100% lie) 2- I changed lane very quickly 3- I was not fully in the outer lane, and since my position was not fully established, its my fault... WTF!!! Enough from my side guys. This insurance business is biggest legal SCAM. We all had to pay for others fault.
