I was involved in an accident on Friday, nothing serious. A lady ran a red light on a roundabout and hit the rear quarter of my car. I spoke to her while we exchanged details and she said that she wasn't sure what colour her lights were, fair enough. She obviously wasn't paying attention to not see the lights and the 5-6 cars entering the roundabout.

Spoke to my insurance and it looks like she has told her insurance that actually, her lights were definitely green and it was me who ran a red.. great. So as it stands it's a 50/50 split for liability. My only hope is that I've asked the council to check if there is any CCTV footage of the accident, so I'm waiting to hear back from them.

I knew this would be the outcome even before she lied to the insurance company, it seems people have some inbuilt reaction to make out it wasn't their fault. What happened to people having some integrity and being honest?
 
Interesting thing is I'm with Elephant and she is with Bell, so they are under the same group. So I can't seem them trying to push the blame themselves, but you never know I guess.

the are cameras on the lights you were waiting at, if they show you and the others moving forward that should help even if they don't show the light as its doubtful multiple cars would decide to run a red light from a standstill lol

That's what I'm hoping. It was dark so maybe the colour of the light will also reflect off the cars :P
 
My Fiancée was in the car, but she is also a named driver on the policy.
