  • In context of the image above;

    If the car is exiting the side road (either) and turning right meaning that it crosses your onward path then it has breached your legal right of way. The zig zag lines are only to denote areas where you cannot park or overtake (in order to preserve the safety of the crossing) and are not relevant to your accident.

    At home time that entire road becomes a ribbon of pissed off stationary drivers, what normally happens is that someone will gun it out of Gonson street to turn right when another driver flashes them etc.

    The issue is that unless you (in the car) creep forwards slowly you cannot see cyclists due to the street cabinet/bollard thing that gets in the way. So if you don't look and just put your foot down like a twat you can end up with a surprised cyclist slamming into the right handside of the car/going over the bonnet.

    Which is what I am guessing happened here- driver did not look, or if they did decided not to give way to a cyclist, with obvious results.

    How close am I not4sale?
