But was your ride on time?
Could not the fact that the car (which did not have right of way) hit you, who was on the main road; could it not be argued that it was NOT, in fact, clear for him to pull out, and therefore the fault lies with him? Whether or not YOU stopped seems to me to be immaterial in this case.
If a car stops on the main road, to let someone pull out, does that actually give the driver pulling out right of way?
172The approach to a junction may have a ‘Give Way’ sign or a triangle marked on the road. You MUST give way to traffic on the main road when emerging from a junction with broken white lines across the road.Laws RTA 1988 sect 36 & TSRGD regs 10(1),16(1) & 25
I have to say legalities aside I am amazed and discusted ! 50/50 Bo77occks ! surely this has to be a full faulty to the car driver !
Ask your solicitors to look @ David v Strogin which sets a precedent.
