    It must really hurt, the thought of you paying my wage.
    Can you two take your petty spat elsewhere before you ruin yet another thread.
  • I may be getting the wrong mental image, but it does sound like the car not involved was parked too close to the corner/right on the corner, you've pulled out and hit the other car. If you'd had time to straighten up or he had driven into you, I wouldve expected there to be damage to his front bumper also. The fact your passenger saw the car long enough to think she could accurately tell they were speeding yet you said the car "came from nowhere" does not bode well. Im also having difficulty picturing what layout would be required where your passenger would clearly see them and you wouldn't unless you have a left-hand drive perhaps? Would explain a lot if that is the case.


    I definitely agree with what I've put in bold, Also if it happened at night, I don't understand how OP failed to be aware of approaching headlights.


    Also if the other driver was "speeding", how come no damage to either car.


    As others have said, best advice is to let your insurers deal with it.
