    Perhaps picture is better than thousands words.

    Red is my car, blue is his. Green is parked car
    We don't need to see a pic, you explained yourself very well in your (original) first post.

    Yes I changed it now

    Let's hope insurance take a different view on it.

    I'm sure he will word it in a way that it was my fault

    And I'm sure I will word it in a way that it was his fault
    Note that if this goes to court and witnesses show that you are deliberately lying, you will go to jail.  It may be a civil matter in court but if you fabricate the penalties for perjury are the same as in a criminal case.  Even if it doesn't go that far, if the insurance company believe you are being economic with the truth, then you could end up with a fraud marker on your record.  Action can also be taken against you for being 'fundamentally dishonest'.

    If you had looked to the left, and your justification in your original OP shows that you didn't as you 'didn't need to', you would have seen the parked car in the carriageway.  If you could not see beyond that, then it wasn't safe to turn.

    If you had been established on the road, then he would be in the wrong.  Going by your drawing, however, you can't have been.  Oh and cars never ever come from nowhere.  When you think they have, you just haven't looked hard enough.
  • The vehicle entering a major road from a minor needs to ensure their way is clear.

    Along the same lines some years ago I was involved in an accident due to a vehicle pulling into a major road from a pub car park. He looked right and saw me in the distrance, looked left and saw a gap so pulled out turning right and straight into my path. He did not look back to the right. That was established by the Police at interview.

    Do you think insurance companies dont check forums?    And Google remembers everything...  Everything posted here
    will be saved for years to come.

    Another forum a guy had his claim refused because he posted online that he did a trackday.  This fact had nothing to
    do with the accident on his way to work some 2 months later.  He finally won because he could prove everything
    was correctly declared and logged on the forum.

    Changing comments is easily tracked.

    As are deleted posts.  So deleting it won't help, especially as the original post has been quoted several times.

    I pulled out after looked both ways, the road was clear, he went through a gap which was non existent, he had parked car on his lane.

    Full stop

    Now whose fault is it.
    Yours, going by your original post as you said yourself, you did NOT look left as there was no need to do so.

    No I am not going to lie. What I said was the true, regardless what I said in my OP

     I hope he does have dash cam cos it will just show he is at complete fault. 

    In my view, he is dragging me down, he did not pay attention to the road and he clearly saw me as I was already in my lane and he squeeze past 2 car with parked car on his lane
     :D but you were not looking left and said no need too. 
  • So you looked left and then drove out into him!?
