    I see so my insurer can elect not to fight a claim
    and still take my no claims bonus away and increase my premium anyway.

    Can i sue my insurer for this

    As I posted in the first reply to your post.
    How do you intend to prove your version?

    I doubt this thread has much time left to run usefully as the OP just wants to hear that he is in the right, and elected to give only partial information at the start. I wonder how much is still missing? Yes it would have made the post longer but perhaps if he left out the hyperbole, it would have been shorter.

    Yeah I remember some guy whose neighbors wheelie bin fell on his car and only wanted to hear that he was right. :p . we have all protested we were right and everyone else wrong at some time in our life

    You're wrong because I've never done that (except when I've been right, of course).

    As my dad says "I was wrong once, but that was a mistake"

    Nope

    I gave a detailed account of what happened.
    It is absurd to accuse me of "elected to give only partial information" because for any incident there are always a infinite range of details a person could give, and what one persons considers to be relevant another person may not.

    I gave all the information i honestly believed to be important and later when questions about a specific aspect of the matter came up i gave details relevant to that.

    This is how an investigation of a story any person is telling you works
    The person telling the story says all the details he remembers which he thinks are relevant and others ask for specific information they think is missing or for more detail about specific aspects of the matter.

    This Is yet another ridiculous attack against me.

    And you have been asked on several occasions to provide a GSV link. We're still waiting.

    She/he won't do that because we'd obviously all immediately work out who she/he is and where they live...supposedly.

    Or in other words posting such a link will prove they are clearly at fault.

    Personally I would have thought that "only a moron" would think the fact there were two cyclists riding abreast wasn't important seeing as it puts one of them much further out in the road to start with.

    Which really does beg the question that, if you really didn't consider that an important detail, then what other details / clues / warning signs did you think were unimportant as you started to overtake?

    That's not an attack, btw, it's a valid question as you've shown you assessment of what constitues important information to be flawed.

    If you miss obviously important information when you have time to think about it (while posting) then how much are you likely to miss when you have to think and act fast on the road?
