I was driving earlier after coming back from shopping and had a near miss with another car.

Excuse the crude drawing. I'm the blue car, coming from the top of the picture and following the road as it turns to the right. The red is the other car, he was travelling from left to right and entering Chervil Way, as I was coming round the corner I saw him coming and thought he looked to be going a bit fast to give way, I realised he wasn't going to stop and we were going to crash to hit the brakes, luckily I wasn't going fast. He also came to a stop but was in front of me, meaning if I hadn't stopped he would most certainly have hit me. He was blaming me from his car and I said he was at fault, windows closed so he wouldn't have heard. He blocked me for a few moments before moving on. Then my partner said that I was in thew wrong, this did annoy me and caused a bit of tension between us.

So, who was in the wrong here?

Went for a nosey on Google Maps, the junction is very clearly marked. Other guy was an utter muppet. Tell your Mrs a man from the Internet said so!!!

Also, going back to a street view from 2012, I wonder how those houses on the corner feel about losing that lovely bit of closed off quiet green space to make way for a major entry into a big estate. Ouch!

edit... Sorry, many typos!
It's not helped, I think I'm in more trouble now.
