Do I have any legal obligations ?

Fifth line. Blow me.

The words are often misquoted even by those who should know better.

You MUST NOT

drive dangerously
drive without due care and attention
drive without reasonable consideration for other road users

Going back to the OP's post. The damage is on your front bumper, but midway on his car. If the lanes are meant to merge then you could be at fault. If they aren't meant to merge, then he's driving with undue care and attention.

It is obvious that the good doctor made no attempt to check the lane before performing his manoeuvre, therefore "driving with undue care and attention".

I rest my case y'ronner.

This is nice.

So - for the record EO, the good advice appeared halfway up this thread re contacting the insurance company, the police, recording the events, and not sparing the details.

Here - towards the bottom of the thread, we're seeing how many times we can split this particular hair until we're down to individual atoms. Let the free-for-all commence.

Without Due Care and Attention

CCTV? is it possible to have the coppers save it and use it as evidence?

I thank you Sir for pointing out the point I was trying to express. At no point did I say the offence as stipulated in the Highway code was the above.

And Diver, the clues in the URL : highways.gov.uk

I would suggest those who believe "driving with undue care and attention" equates to not watching what one is doing go and sign up for remedial English immediately.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but in that sentence, care and attention are abstract nouns. Undue is modifying the noun by describing, identifying, or quantifying them (sound familar, it's called an adjective)
