Following up to Cessna172 nobody is arguing otherwise. But it isn't the point. You cant have a personal definition of what...

Following up to Cessna172 No, its the accepted one as reported by dictionaries and used by the english speaking peoples. Agreed, which does not stop it being dangerous...

No one appears to have grasped the law behind this. There are 2 lanes, traffic in each lane has right of way and must not endanger or collide with traffic in the other lane. The direction is irrelevant.

It'll be quite clear to any insurer with the 2 parties statements and the vehicle buttessor's report that she turned into him while he was alongside. There's no other credible explanation. That makes it her fault, no ifs, no buts. It matters not whether she signalled, you cannot change lane in that circumstance. It's just like being side swiped on a dual carriageway or motorway.

He should pay for the vehicle buttessed by a member of these - buttessors. They charge the insurance companies about £45.

and engage one of these -

No fees

involved in car accidents where they were not to blame

In the circumstances he's got nothing to lose by simply refusing all proposed settlements that leave him worse off. The insurers love knock for knock (50-50) settlements because both insurers win by reducing the no claims discount for their respective drivers.

Following up to Cessna172 nope, it was the normal english usages then and still is, language doesnt change just to suit youre views of...

The evidence of the damage to the vehicle and an buttessors report will nullify the effects of the delay in him reporting it.

buttuming it's within 14 days, he should report it to the police (in writing as it's taken more seriously) asking for her to be prosecuted. He'd be doing decent drivers a favour in at least trying to get her some points.

Inconsiderate, dangerous driving on her part imo. He is completely innocent.

Let us know what happens.
