Roundabout accident not my fault

zlinman

Same just happened to me this very day. I was taking a friend home and entered an unfamiliar large 2 lane multiple exit roundabout. I was not sure which exit I needed so I stayed in the left lane of the roundabout so I wouldn't be cutting across anyone when I found my exit. I realised I didn't want the first exit but the next one. So I put my right hand indicator on to inform anyone behind me I was carrying on to the next exit, then a driver behind me accelerated past me on my drivers side to take the first exit and cut across me denting my driver's side front wing, and scraping all down the side of his passenger side from the front wing, both doors and rear wing. No witnesses, other drivers just wanted to get on with their journey. So who's fault was this ? Other driver says my fault as I was in the wrong lane for the next exit. I told him I indicated clearly I was bypassing that exit and taking the next one. If he wanted the first exit he should have been behind me in the left hand lane ready to take the first exit. Insurance says most likely will be 50/50 claim as I didn't have a dash cam. If so, I find this very unfair ..... and yes now looking for a dash cam !
