Roundabout collision - who is at fault? With diagram

[Notcheekyvimto]

Involved in a collision today at a roundabout.

Both lanes go straight on. The left lane leads to a left turn only shortly afterwards hence lots of people use the right lane to go straight, road markings are clear both lanes permit going straight.

Left hand exit is a car park for a local park marked in green ‘park’.

Red car travels in the right lane to go straight on, indicates left and starts to pull off.

Blue car comes from the park and intends to turn straight or right, into the path of red car.

Red car brakes but cannot stop in time and blue car is damaged on the drivers side, red car on the passengers corner side.

Who is at fault?

Blue car pulled out when the road wasn’t clear so blue car I think.

Seems clear it’s blue - drivers on the roundabout have priority and it’s the responsibility of people joining to make sure they have space to do so safely.

Blue car. If they are not sure which exit red car is taking they should have waited to pull out.
Also if red car was not indicating right, it should be assumed they are going straight over.

Blue car didn't give way to tred car already on the roundabout by the sounds of things.

I would guess the blue car is at fault as the red car was already on the roundabout and signalling their intention to leave.

Red car takes priority. Blue car should’ve waited.

Blue car should have waited until road was clear before joining roundabout.

Cars already on the roundabout have priority so sorry Blue Car, it's on you!

Clearly the blue car and I've seen many do that, some on purpose and others new to the area/lost/etc.

From what I have read, often the insurance takes a 50/50 hit unless the other driver admits fault.

Importantly and in my judgment, the blue driver is at fault, no ifs, no buts.

wasn’t the lane clear when the blue car joined though?

Blue car - they should give way to traffic on the right

Blue car messed up

Blue car as others have said

Blue car was wrong.

Joining the blue call!

Blue

I agree blue is at fault

It will be 50/50.

Only exit a ra if it’s safe to do so after doing your observations.

What if blue car was a cyclist? Could have been fatal.

Despite what is normally done (and I get it) the red car has effectively not checked the lane was clear. The blue car shouldn't have pulled out but from an insurance point of view red has gone into blue.
What we're your indicators saying to the blue car?

I don't think it is that clear cut.

I'm going for both at fault

Red car should have checked mirrors when cutting across the lane, providing the arrows allow the blue car to continue on.

A Google maps view of the roundabout would be helpful

It will be 50/50.

that’s what I thought. Looks like blue car is in the wrong lane but red car should have looked before coming off.

A Google maps view of the roundabout would be helpful

agree

Blue car will be classed as "at fault"

I think this. Blue car was presumably already on the roundabout, the issue is it was in the wrong lane.

Blue, although it'll most likely go 50/50 as red had a responsibility to check the exit was clear too
