The Mrs had an accident and being pressured into 50/50
Discussion
She had an accident in October 2016 where she was sat in traffic and someone coming the other way turned right behind her and took out the side of his car on her rear quarter. He was foreign and got quite irate so she called the police. They turned up and calmed him down enough to swap details etc.
She passed it to her insurance and they fixed her car and she then put it from her mind. A few weeks ago they called as apparently he's claiming she reversed as he was turning and it's all her fault.
Obviously this is b
ks and she told them so but the solicitor has called back today and is asking her to sign a form to say she accepts 50/50 as this is the result she expects at court. She's been told that she doesn't have to sign but the decision will then be with the insurance company and they'll just say it's 50/50 anyway (if his insurance even accepts the 50/50 offer)
Massive kick in the tits because some can't drive properly. Tempted to put on my PH goatee and pop down to PC world (where he works) tomorrow and dominate the till by hammering frozen sausages into his eyes.
Where it was, shes the red car.
The junction, she was over the island in a Toyota Aygo so hardly covering the world.
Damage to hers

Those foreign people driving around in non-private hire UK-registered vehicles. All such a nuisance.
Also perhaps tell your missus not to block a junction and then reverse back when she panics. The scratch marks on the alloy quite clearly show it wasn't rotating at the time of movement, otherwise it'd be a lot more circumferential.
(edit: alloy on the BMW, the marks on the BMW's tyre align too)

Half an hour for a prick to turn up. Not too bad.
Funny how he only realised she had reversed a year later and not at the scene.
Given that both cars have moved from the incident to the photos your detective skills need some work. A huge junction like that works fine with an aygo in the middle.

Insurance companies pressuring clients into 50/50 when said client disagrees was the topic on you & yours yesterday (R4).
Apparently it's on the increase. Stick to your guns OP, hope it goes in your favour.
Agreed, stick to your guns. It might be a bit extra hassle but I'd say 100% not your wife's fault. Even if she was blocking the junction (which it appears she wasn't) that's no excuse for sApparently it's on the increase. Stick to your guns OP, hope it goes in your favour.

We had a car at work which was queuing to leave a car park. Another car reversed out of a parking space into the side of our stationary car. The insurance companies agreed 50/50! They really can't be bothered.
No witnesses.One person says X.
One person says Y.
Who's to be believed, and how do you prove that person's the one who's not lying?
