The insurance said police aren't the ones who decide who's at fault. Everything I've read seems to say the biker should be ready to stop, what's annoying me is that I did but can't proove it.
you can always say you were READY to stop.......if you didnt come to a full stop to avoid the accident, thats a completely different scenario. (only read 2 pages so dont know if someone else pointed that out.
im with others - carpulling out MUST give right of way - sounds like she didnt even bother looking right
