Witnessed a crash this morning on Walworth road. Cyclist attempted to pass car on the right, car turned right and knocked him off. I'm not clear whose fault it was really - the car was indicating for a while, something that both my other half and I noticed and slowed down for.

Rider was shaken up (to the extent that the email he gave me doesn't work) but otherwise fine. Car scraped and rear brake light shattered.

if the car was indicating prior to turning and the cyclist failed to see / failed to take caution of it then its his error!

Not true. I suspect there would be a shared responsibility if it went to court but an indicator is not your free pass to make a move. It is the drivers responsibility to ensure it is clear and safe for them to make a manoeuvre before they begin to actually do it. Indicating or not.
