If you were driving from where the red arrow is towards the roundabout, and going straight ahead to where the green arrow is, which lane should you be in?

Context is that I had a collision on this roundabout over 2 years ago, still hasn't been resolved and is now likely to go to court! Other driver claiming they were in correct lane, I believe I was...

Final Update

Well, as many of you suspected would happen, I received a call today to say the third party insurer have decided to settle before the hearing with the third party being found at fault!! My (huge) excess will be coming back to me within 2 weeks. Brilliant! 🥳

well done in holding your nerve!

Great news. How much was your excess?

Mirabai · 11/12/2024 10:25

I ask because it might be worth paying more for a lower excess or insuring your excess - which is what I do.

BezMills · 11/12/2024 10:29

I'm glad you got that result, well done

FoxtonFoxton · 11/12/2024 10:34

Knew it! Great news OP!

Drfosters · 11/12/2024 10:38

Well done!! Quite right too. Amazing what a waste of everyone’s time and resources this was only to get to the obvious answer.

ChrisPPancake · 11/12/2024 11:30

Glad you got the right result @CactusUmbrella just a shame it took so long!

YarkYark · 11/12/2024 11:34

The right result - pity you had to fight for justice.

Yay! Well done. Compensation for the hassle?

bridgetreilly · 11/12/2024 15:44

Good result. It doesn’t actually matter whether he’s entitled to be in the right lane or not (he isn’t), he’s not entitled to run into you!

ThatsAFineLookingHighHorse · 11/12/2024 16:39

Great result! Well done, OP!

Willmafrockfit · 11/12/2024 18:56

excellent,
just goes to show sometimes you need to fight rather than just roll over and accept 50/50

HDready · 11/12/2024 20:45
