50:50 technically because the overtaking car should have recognised that the gap wasn't big enough (or moved over further).https://www.dropbox.com/s/3u6q1ufbcbjxsia/MOVI0109...

Of course, it's all really caused by the knob-end in the Golf trying to police the roads and stop people pushing in as he sees it, would love to see some of these twunts picked up for inconsiderate driving or something.
I imagine there is a strong argument for 50 50 as I could've probably stopped in time, might just pay for her wing mirror as the last time I had a non fault accident my insurance sky rocketed.

She's just called, had a few quotes and the best came in at £60. I said it sounds reasonable and I'll meet her and give her the cash tomorrow.
It'll make my life much easier going forwards (and save a packet of money compared to if we went through insurance!)
I will also try my best to educate her on the errors of her ways
You can say what you like but you won't educate her. She'll just feel smug about how she's made some terrible queue jumping boy racer pay up for car repairs and feel she's at liberty to do the same thing again to more people. It'll make my life much easier going forwards (and save a packet of money compared to if we went through insurance!)

I know a guy who works in road planning and a lot of junctions around the local area have been redesigned with his involvement to have two lanes and merge points. He absolutely despairs when people complain that using the outside lane is queue jumping, he gets really cross and frustrated when he tries to explain that the junctions work like funnels and traffic spreading across both lanes and people merging in turn gets everyone through, whichever lane they use, faster than everyone queuing in one lane.
I followed one of my neighbours this evening up to a junction where I used the outside lane and he joined a long queue in the inside lane. I arrived home ten minutes before he did. If everybody spread themselves across both lanes I would get through the junction five minutes slower but all those queuing in the inside lane would get through five minutes faster roughly and there would be less overall queuing. Multiply that across several such junctions over a journey and that's a significant time saving for many people.
Someone blocking traffic like this woman isn't trying to selflessly make traffic move faster, whatever her excuse if challenged. She's just getting a power trip by exerting control over other drivers in a way she knows will wind them up.

Give her the URL of this thread at the point from the video being posted..... let's see if she has the gumption to justify her actions....
I will be doing this 
If she gets the hump she may tell her insurance co, maybe just to cost you the extra premium to "teach you a lesson" Remember this person is a self styled judge, jury and executioner

That is a very good point. Its very possible that she won't care that everyone thinks that she is wrong, I was "pushing in" and thats the end of that in her eyes, she did seem very bigoted
when you give her the money, get a receipt saying that she considers the matter closed with prejudice.then send her flowers every 6 months, or not flowers.

I'd be very tempted just just ignore any contact from her when she trys to bill you for a wing mirror. Or tell her to f
k off when she calls, inviting her to view the video footage on a link that you will send her, mentioning that an insurance co. would rule against her...
Yeah I think that's what id do in the OPs situation.k off when she calls, inviting her to view the video footage on a link that you will send her, mentioning that an insurance co. would rule against her...Also a quick quote online to see what impact the non fault will have rather than guess.

Unless you have some issue that you don't wish any insurance company to find out about, eg undeclared conviction, mods etc, it beggars belief that you are capitulating like this. It'll make my life much easier going forwards (and save a packet of money compared to if we went through insurance!)

This woman deliberately moved so as to cause an accident. She was no avoiding any other incident, she drove into your lane, but had no intention of actually using it. At the least it is driving without due care, but that suggest she was not paying attention, she was, and she did it deliberately, so it is careless or dangerous driving. After the collision, she soon joins your lane to pursue you, showing it is fine for her to use that lane when SHE wants, but clearly she doesn't want others using it when THEY want.
That video should be sent to the police, plane and simple. She is 100% wrong, it is aggressive and dangerous driving from someone that needs to be shown that is not acceptable.
All this about premiums going up for non fault claims, IMO it is balls. You have a video that proves it was her fault and it was no accident. If your premium goes up as a result of that sue her for it as a consequential loss.
I'm astonished that anyone would not only put up with a deliberate act like that to cause an accident, but futhermore would actually reward her for her actions.
It is a no brainer to take a stand against this woman. At the very least, go meet her, refuse to pay up, tell her it is video'd an online and you will be sending it to the police with a complaint about careless or dangerous driving. Tell her she did not indicate, and she was not trying to join your lane, she was trying to cause a crash and she did. Then ask HER for £60 for YOUR mirror.
And then tell her you will be sending the video too the daily mail and posting it on facebook along with her name so everyone can see what a pratt she is.

While it is of course a requirement to inform your insurance company of any accident (even if you don't make a claim), running a quote to 'see what the damage would be' is a sure fire way to drop yourself in it. There are a number of threads on here of people having insurance companies ring them up asking why they didn't declare XYZ accident; namely the one they just ran a quote on a comparison site to see what effect it had... Having insurance cancelled is not a good thing and has to be declared until you're in a wooden box.Also a quick quote online to see what impact the non fault will have rather than guess.

Been following this incident with interest and looked at the vid. How do all those cars get away parking over a cycle lane, thought that was t allowed. https://www.dropbox.com/s/3u6q1ufbcbjxsia/MOVI0109...
