There's that 1960s case (is it Moodeys?) where a car pulls out of a side street into the path of a filtering bike - the judge ruled it was the bike's fault as a twat in a car can not be expected to think (I'm paraphrasing).

Actually (AIUI) Powell vs Moody basically said that such accidents were 50/50, but IIRC this has been superceded by Davis vs Schrogin which says (in short) that the party who is making the manoeuvre is responsible for making sure that it's safe to do so.
