Is this legal?

[starkey]

I was recently t-boned by a car coming out of this pub cutting across the lane turning right.

I'm just wondering if this is legal due to the solid white lines? There is signs on the other side of the road to say not to turn right into the pub.

Any help appreciated

Legal yes. What's the problem exactly, if he pulled across your path surely there's not much problem with liability?

Well you're not supposed to cross solid white lines are you?

Hi

Highway code rule 129:-

Double white lines where the line nearest you is solid. This means you MUST NOT cross or straddle it unless it is safe and you need to enter adjoining premises or a side road. You may cross the line if necessary, provided the road is clear, to pass a stationary vehicle, or overtake a pedal cycle, horse or road maintenance vehicle, if they are travelling at 10 mph (16 km/h) or less.

So on that not illegal (except that they seem to have done it when not safe).

All the best

I see nothing wrong with turning right out of the pub but if they pulled out in front of you then that's their fault unless there are any other relevant details?

If we're scruitinising road markings. Those aren't proper give-way markings on the carpark junction. Should be a double row of dashed lines on the exit side.

So techincally it was an unmarked junction.

Just saying.

Basically third party aren't admitting liability until the police release the report/cctv. They're also claiming they have a witness to say it was my fault (when there was no witnesses on the scene)!

If he T boned you, why are you looking for more? Surely he would be liable anyway?
Unless, of course, you were speeding or in the wrong somehow.

If he admits pulling out of the pub on to the road and you were travelling on that road I can't see how he could be anything but liable TBH.

We're all assuming we have a clue where you were and what direction you were heading in...

Did you get onto the A358 from the park and ride? (not that it should make much difference, but it might give us a clue what the other side is thinking).

I bet it was raining, wasn't it.
