If your bicycle had a front-wheel brake you could have

Even the Highway Code says he couldn't.

But she Also said this…

" On your own evidence by this stage you weren’t even trying to slow or stop. You expected her to get out of your way. Thus I make it clear that it was not merely the absence of a front brake but your whole manner of riding that caused this accident. "
