I've been commuting to work since Feb on my bike and today for the first time I had a bad incident and I'm not sure where I stand. Most of my commute is along the cycling lane. As always I was in my lane. Cars are usually quite slow in the mornings due to heavy traffic on this particular road. So I overtook a lot of cars while staying in my lane and I saw this Golf in front of me taking up quarter of cycling lane. There was plenty of space and I knew I would overtake her so when I approached her, it seems like she cut in a bit more and the handle bar must had hit against her passenger side mirror. Luckily I didn't fall off and managed to stop the bike on my two feet, I wasn't going too fast. Her mirror's cover came off so we stopped and she started rambling. I apologised and told her she's at fault for driving in my lane. Now this is funny....while she was on the phone with police to sort out our dispute an Astra overtook her and took off the other mirror completely, I just about managed to control my laugh.
Police advised her to exchange details which we did. But I would like to know where I stand on this?
Thanks chaps.
