  • Turner I'll ask you politely 1 last time to please get off my back, I don't need a personnal troll thankyou.

    I've got the measure of you, chap.

    You like to dish it out and have snide little pops at other posters. However as soon as anyone speaks out against or disagrees with you, you take the hump.

    Can't take it can you, so why give it?

    You are just a bully aren't you?

    Nuff said.

    Hi,

    my wife (car B) was stationary at the junction. Car A was in a strange position, also stationary waiting for the traffic to clear. My wife obviously didn't move first because she couldn't see clearly on the main road as car A was already on the junction. Its just Car A turned left without looking properly (failed to final check) and crashed into my wife.

    .

    ah.. from your first post, my in head action reply had your wife driving up the left and they both turned at the same time. I didn't have her as stopped next to the car

    The important part is that your wifes car was stationary. Blame lies with the moving car, its their responsibility to ensure their path is clear. Make sure to tell your insurance that your wifes car was stationary and the other driver was on the phone.

    !!!!!! - I've seen nothing in this thread stating whether it's a 'T' junction or a crossroads.
    If it's crossroads, it sounds like car A was perfectly position, and 'indicating' perfectly correctly, to go straight on...
    As above, some people are TERRIBLE at positioning their cars, but if there was enough room for car B to get down the inside of car A, and car A wasn't even slightly to the left or pointing left, you've got to assume they're not going left. If you approach a T junction, and a car is well positioned to turn right, but not indicating, would you undercut to go left (with plenty of space) - and would you be surprised if you then got hit?
    I guess that Car A had a navigation failure/change of mind, and is driving without due care and attention.
    I'd like a diagram too, or a Google Earth image, to see if it was a squeeze for car B or a perfectly normal thing.
    If car A was even slightly looking like going left, sitting behind and a good blast of the horn to interrupt the conversation on the mobile phone would have been good...
