Whos to blame?

[blastrr]

my wife was driving along a road today after turn left off a roundabout...a driver pulled out of the little chef car park in a 8 wheel tipper wagon in front of my wife ...although my wife tried to swerve around the vehicle she could not avoid a collision...my wifes car is a total write off - but she is okay....when challenged the driver of the wagon said my wife was indicating into the car park...it seems likely that the car indicator was still on as the road is on a bend and as the car had not yet straightened up the indicator had not switched off automatically...but i can't help thinking that the wagon driver is still responsible to ensure the main highway is clear before entering it..any ideas on the legal / insurance situation??

As a driving instructor im sorry to say your wife is at fault although the truck pulled out on her, simply because her indicator was still on.

You should always try to gain eye contact with any other driver in my opinion, that normally gives a fair reflection of what they are going to do , not always possible i agree , we also should never Assume ,
cos it only makes an ASS out of U and ME!! :-)
