Hello Ozbargain,
I was involved in an accident today and wanted the opinion of all the Ozlawyers and Oztraffic cops in this wonderful forum.
To cut a long story short i was in the left hand lane of a 2 lane road approaching a round about, as i am approaching I see a black Prado enter from the right hand side which is a single lane road. So i begin to slow down as she has right of way, she sticks to the right hand lane so i accelerate and enter the round about on the left hand side, as i am exiting the round about she suddenly attempts to changes lanes and merges on top of me side swiping the rear of my car.
Who do you learned experts believe is at fault here? And before anyone asks, yes i have full comprehensive insurance and i'm not afraid to use it i just want some opinions.
I also have a side question related to this incident.
When we pulled over she was adamant that she had full right of way and that i was at fault, not even 2 minutes after we pullover her husband shows up in a seperate vehicle and is also claiming that i am at fault but that they are happy to let this go as the damage "Isn't even that bad, it'll buff out" (Hint, it won't buff out some of the scratches on my car go down to bare metal and plastic) Take a look at the attached photos and tell me why they would be willing to let this go when the damage is clearly worse on their vehicle.
