Driving down a country road earlier when a car behind decided to overtake, half way through the overtake we came close to a junction on the right where a car started to pull out, this cars vision was restricted by trees and pulled out. Now it wasn't quite a head on but if it had been whose fault would it have been

1, Car overtaking
2, Car pulling out

I think car pulling out as we were on the main road etc, opinions please ?

It was the car pulling out at fault as vehicles on the road they're joining have priority (I think)

ETA if the car overtaking wasn't there would he have just pulled out and hit you instead?

No because the car that pulled out was going in the opposite direction
