Who's wrong? (pics included)

[autienotnaughty]

Hi wondering if you can clear this up for me.

So to set the scene. Busy road with a doctors on one side and school on the other. It's a 30 limit. Car A is going too fast for the situation but not necessarily over speed limit. Possibly 25-35. Car B is infront of Car A. Car B indicates left and starts to pull round. Car A pulls around Car B as it turns. At the same time Car C pulls out, Car C can see car B but can not see any cars behind Car B. Car C thinks when Car B turns left it has time to turn its self. Car A hits Car C.
Car A says Car C is at fault as he should not have turned when the view was blocked.
Car C says Car A is at fault as he was driving too fast and should not have over took Car B.

Who's at fault?

@autienotnaughty which was your car?

Or were you an innocent witness?

You see, if you were in any of those cars, your drawing and report of what happened is bound to be subjective and you want it to be in your favour.

No they weren't. Say car B stopped halfway through turning into the junction to let a pedestrian cross. Assuming the road ahead is clear, A is perfectly entitled to pull out around them.
There is nothing wrong with doing that. Car C is 100% at fault.

C was at fault.

Car A was driving like a nob, but the roads are full of nobs. Whenever you are pulling out in to a road it's your responsibility to ensure it's clear, of both sensible drivers and nobs too.

C because you don't pull out if you can't see the road.
A because uou don't overtake at a junction.

Which was an audi

Come on OP, explain who you are don’t just reply to one random post.

I was car C several years ago in a very similar situation. Insurance companies couldn't agree. Two years later in court, I could barely remember what happened and witness statements were all 50/50, car A won.

Car C but I think the insurance will split the blame.

Why do people overtake in this situation instead of just slowing down very briefly while the person in front turns?

Honestly it's only insurance companies who care who's at fault and they make their decisions based on a set of rules + how much it's going to cost them to pursue it.

Otherwise I'm guessing nobody actually wanted to crash into another car so it was an accident. I don't suppose car C will pull out without checking again or car A will overtake too fast at a junction either.

Yes they were - there is something wrong with doing that
Highway Code -
167
DO NOT overtake where you might come into conflict with other road users. For example
approaching or at a road junction on either side of the road

Car C.

Pulling onto a road where you cannot see clearly, car who is already on said road has priority.

She has to be car C

Car A should be giving way to traffic on the major road.

I wouldn’t have pulled out with no visibility.

Car c is wrong sorry

Driver of Car C in the wrong - you can't just pull out hoping there's nothing coming!

If car c had waited until it was clear would there have been a crash?

It could be argued c was also impatient

Car c

Guess you are Car A op?

I will I've not finished the messages yet!

B has stopped the traffic on the main road, so C has time to turn onto it, but A dangerously overtakes at a junction and surprises C who is not expecting it.

Car A is at fault.

Oh you're A then? You're going to get ripped to shreds if you admit that by people who never driver faster than 3mph under the speed limit and always know their exact speed

B didn't stop the traffic and C clearly didn't have time to turn.

This. Its all car c fault.

Funny responses.

Unless overtaking was prohibited, then it is 100% C's fault and no police/insurance/court would spend more than 2 minutes deciding it.

If overtaking was prohibited, then more difficult since both at fault.

Car B didn't stop the traffic, they'd pulled into a road.Car A was the traffic and continued moving. Car C should not have attempted to pull out onto a road with oncoming traffic.
