    I was driving down a narrow road ,the sign said not suitable hgvs ,I came to a bend ,there was a cone to the side of the road I pulled into the side of the road well away from the bend to allow an hgv  to come around the bend .The hgv came around too fast and clipped my car ,he stopped further down the road ,I took all photographs of my car position the road and signs ,a witness was on the scene two seconds later having heard the crash but he could only see the wagon I was on the other side .All parties knew I was stationary at the time ,but ,now the other party is trying to blame me saying I drove into the truck and wont accept the witness account who has told them that in no way was I at fault as I was stationary but they will not accept this as he did not see the impact .
     I feel very stressed being blamed for an accident which clearly was not my fault ,and now with my no claims bonus has pushed up my insurance renewal by £135.Can anyone give me any advice ,or similar happened to them .
