The car came out from behind a stopped lorry with no visibility of traffic when the light was green / going amber, heading the opposite direction to traffic.
I would say he has blame for the incident though there's weighting towards the bike for sure.
Having watched a few legal eagle episodes on 44teeths channel, I don't believe speed is a black and white factor in judgement though it's obviously a serious thing to consider.
The police have already called me, taken further details and asked for a formal statement as they don't have CCTV which is incredible given how built up the area is. I will of course give a statement for what I saw.
