Well guys the insurance dude phoned from rider assist about the incident (sounds ominous that way!) All he wanted to do was check a few details.
I did however ask him about the car driver trying to claim off me even though I didn't actually touch him.
He told me something I never knew, he said that if its found that I'm the cause then the car driver can claim off me for damages. He gave the example of a 3 car rear end shunt. He said that the car at the front would claim off the car that caused it not the one in the middle.
So, I'm now hoping that they see sense and the cyclist is found at fault. As these things go I bet its easier all round to point the finger at the guy who has in the insurance and I'll get screwed......
