Yes, exactly. It's word against word.

He says you had plenty of time to stop but were going too fast.

So saw them coming and still pulled out.

Started to pull out, realised it wasn't clear, stopped... OP didn't.

But if it had been a dog or a little child rather than something 4 foot high and 4m long, the OP would have seen it and been able to stop.  Doesn't make sense at all to me.

Your driving puts other people’s safety at risk yet you find it amusing.  That speaks volumes.  🤷‍♂️

At the point in the road where the vehicle pulled out i could clearly see in-between the cars you lot clearly aren't understanding how little space I had when the vehicle decided they was going to jump out without signalling or mirror checks 
As I was slamming on my brakes they were still attempting to exit the space hence I hit the door and didn't just clip the front o/s corner 
If it were a dog I wouldn't even bother braking thing shouldn't have been loose running up the road

what about a child?  You said that you would have been able to brake in time for a child or small animal.  I don't understand what size of the obstacle has to do with your ability to stop.  Either you can stop or you cannot.  

Plus if you really had insufficient space to take evasive action for something VERY predictable, then you were going too fast, regardless of the speed limit.

Still drip-feeding...

Did you miss the part that reads
 from where the giant tin can pulled out i could see in-between the cars again your not realising how close I was when they decided to pull out 
They could just as easily have killed someone or thing driving without functioning mirrors

If a small child runs out in front of you on a clear road at 30mph you aint stopping so why would it be any different for a a road with parked cars. Anyone mentioned nuns carrying  basket full of kittens yet?
