very true BG, i had started to pull out and then seen the headlights coming round. being a left hand corner cars at the junction appear to be in your way even when further back from the line.
I admit that yes, I was right up to the line, maybe even a bumper width over it. Still she had two WIDE lanes with nothing coming the other way to avoid us. And by her own admission she was exceding the speed limit by 10-15 mph.
having come round the corner she notices another set of headlights and sounds the horn to warn us. the road is under a strong camber in places to make heavy rains flow to each side and into the gutter.
she simply saw headlights in her path and tried to slow down by stamping on the brakes.
we had already decided not to try and claim either one to blame. I was maybe too close to her carrigeway, and she was driving too fast.
btw she wasnt a milf, she was only about 19 years old.
I did get her mobile phone number though and she seemed very keen to slag her boyfriend off, and smile at my borther(hes the good lookin one)
