Merge in Turn - What do the panel think?

Perhaps she was on tow...

If there are no witnesses then it is your word against hers and as you were the one making the manoevre it is likely the insurers will rule against you (50:50 at best)

You may be right, however the damage to the vehicles may be significant as the damage on mine was well to the rear, whereas hers was right at the front of her driver's wing. It could be argued that as I was to her front right she should have given way, even leaving aside the whole merging issue.
Not all that concerned anyway as it is a Company vehicle and the minor scratches are no worse than have been routinely acquired over the last 3.5 years of off-road working etc. anyway.
Time will tell I suppose....
Hope she had a whopping excess though!!!

I only do that when the idiot on the outside watches us all obediently alternate before the final narrowing then rushes down the outside to get to the front.

I totally agree, but that was not the case in this instance.

**** it, I'm going to buy a battered old Hilux now as I hate these ****ers who don't follow the common rules of the road. For this situation you follow the zipper effect but no, there's always those ******* who don't, or won't...

e) - post a thread on cuk with a poll and abide by the majority verdict.

Which will probably be "AndyW's mum always merges her lovers in turn".
