Had a nice kiss this morning!

I was in the outside lane going onto M5, chap stuck in stationary traffic in the middle lane pulled out and hit me just as I went past.

Sorry, yes it's what I would call outside lane of a roundabout, i.e. the furthest one out but yes it would be classed as inside lane of a road. It's drivers door, rear door and rear panel.

I had gone past him as far as my wing mirror before the impact, I was doing 20mph ish and he was moving out from a stationary queue of traffic.

Best part was when we pulled over to exchange details, I got out of the car and walked over to his car and as he got out he forgot to put his handbrake on and rolled into the back of me!

Looks like it was just a glancing blow, could have been a lot worse. Still, not what you need on a Wednesday morning. What did the other driver say?

Yep you're right, I didn't even see it happen as I had gone past where I could see him. He could have spun me out if he had hit more towards the back I suppose. Oh well one for the insurance companies to sort out!

Unless you claim direct from the third party theres a chance it'll go 50:50 as it was on a roundabout

I thought this would be the case and it stinks! There was nothing 50-50 about it, I was in the correct lane and he drove into me, there was nothing I could do any different to avoid it.
