Whose fault is it if a cyclist "T-bones" you at a T-junction
Discussion
I turned in to a T-junction accross a lane of standing traffic this morning. Despite the fact that I was leaning forward in my seat looking down the lane of traffic of in order to try to avoid this exact situation, I still had a reasonably near miss with a cyclist. We both stopped in time. As you can see, there is no cycle lane and everyone on the scene was driving a Mitsubishi FTO.
If I hadn't been looking for him and we'd colided, would it have been my fault? Or is it his fault for filtering through a junction without due care? Does it make a difference if there is a cycle lane? If the car you're turning in front of is actually an HGV, and you can't see past it at all, should you refuse to turn?
