A work colleague's partner got into a prang the other day.

Let's set the scene: https://goo.gl/maps/bRSR8yaSbzt

Their car was about where the silver car is. There were no cars parked in the car park lane at the time. Someone was turning right into the street on the right, much the same as the dark grey car is in the google link.

If you swivel to the left, you'll see that down the road is an intersection where there are two lanes, but have long since merged into one.

So my colleagues partner swerved to the left to under-take the turning vehicle. Unfortunately a small truck still hadn't merged from the previous two lane intersection and was more or less beside them, and so they collided.

The truck driver is claiming that it was an unsafe lane change, my colleague's partner is claiming they shouldn't have been there as it was a single lane road.

What say you, geekzone?
