Involved in an accident- Advice needed please

Everything you did is fine. The only thing that caused confusion was a bit of a dodgy drawing, which made it look as if what you'd done might not be fine.

If you look back at my posts on this thread you will notice that they are discussing the two scenarios and asking for clarification, not making a judgement on which one was actually the case.

No problem, wasn't sure if you are discussing the second picture, but would definitely agree with you that on the Last pic that you posted the bike would have been at fault. Thanks for your help @Fordward

Yep, I drew it as a hypothetical scenario to try to get 650 to understand why the bike COULD be at fault in this accident as he/she was saying it was crystal clear the cars fault whatever happened.

Yes, taking 650's approach to it's logical conclusion, it would be like saying the first person to enter a roundabout can do no wrong.

From the damage to my bike you can clearly see who's at fault.

He's talking ****. Ignore.

That's just the point, you're going off on ridiculous, irrelevant scenarios - your pretty little picture serves no purpose as that's not what happened here. Even if it WAS what happened, the car would still be at fault, assumption is dangerous.

Have you ever been anywhere near the insurance industry? I spent the best part of 5 years (up til February this year) sitting next to approximately 15 claims adjusters, this kind of nonsense came across their desk on an obscenely regular basis, the person turning right at a roundabout always won out or got at most 25% of the blame. Even then, it was down to situations where witness statements caused contradictions and physical evidence made it almost impossible to work out!

What an arrogant w***nker to post that somebody's talking **** while hiding behind a keyboard.

I post something to help the OP, the OP is happy and agrees with what I've posted, so what is the point in 650 coming along as of post #46 and starting an argument?

The thread was looked at by a motoring lawyer I was drinking with at the time I first posted and he agrees with me completely, as does everyone else on this thread except 650.

I've nothing else to say here the OP has had the advice he needed and the thread has run its course.

At the end of the day it makes absolutely no difference what a forum full of randoms decide. The insurance company will make up their own minds.
I'm not even sure why it's been discussed this much!
