Once you've joined a multi lane roundabout you must respect the lane just as you would on a straight dual carriageway. Quote:

So not so much a 'peculiarity in road law', more 'made up as you go along' Ergo, car at fault. No shared blame here.

He has now clarified his drawing showing that the two were not side by side. If you can't understand the difference there's nothing further I can say that will help you to. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk |

Re: Involved in an accident- Advice needed please
Would you join the road if you were unsure of the bikes direction?
Don't say yes just to play devils advocate, because we know you wouldn't. You're being awfully semantic about something that is crystal clear, REGARDLESS of road position, you have to give way to your right until it's absolutely safe to join, he didn't do that, he did the typical cockwomble thing and made an assumption. Now we have a broken bike and a damaged bumper.

Re: Involved in an accident- Advice needed please
Maybe another pretty picture will help you understand, see attached. You'll note its exactly the lines that were drawn in the first diagram. You'll also note by looking at other vehicles in the picture the bike and car I've drawn are about 3 times the size they should be, so they'd have had to have traveled parallel about 4 car lengths AFTER the car joined the roundabout in order to get into this situation.
In this scenario the accident happens when the bike exits, not when the car joins, there is about 1.5 times the length of an HGV between those two points, and it is the bikes fault, regardless of how much of a muppet the car driver was to get alongside him in the first place.

Re: Involved in an accident- Advice needed please
And I agree that on the first picture I would have been at fault, but as I said the second picture is much more accurate. Still waiting for insurance to get back to me
