Default UK Incident Scenario Question

A question was raised by a colleague about the following accident scenario and I could not answer it:
1. You are riding on a 30mph zone and there is a car (car-A) in front of you driving within the speed limit and you are following the 2 seconds rule.
2. On the oncoming traffic, there are cars parked on the left hand side of the road and for some reason a oncoming car (car-B) decides to pull out and drive between you and the parked cars .
3. As car-B is using half on the rider lane, you sacrifice your position ( in order to avoid a front collision ) and move to the left and back to the centre.
4. Meanwhile, you see that car-A hit the brakes and you do the same ( e.g. front brakes ) but slides as your front wheel is not straight and you bike is on the tarmac about 2 yards behind car-A. no physical contacts during the incident.

Who's fault is it ?
Is it the fault of car-B as the rider tried to avoid colliding against car-B's right hand side ?

Thanks.
