His insurer accepted fault immediately after viewing this video. Just another example of how crucial a dash cam can be. I'll never drive a car without one, even a rental.
I suspect he was looking, but only through his mirror and saw that the road was clear after the previous car, which it was for a while!
Clearly his insurance pays, but I think you could have avoided that accident if you had taken a bit more time, thus giving him more time to see you, or more time for him to take the lane before you arrived. Of course I can't see the full situation, but maybe a lesson to learn?
I agree, absolutely a lesson to learn. I could have been going slower.I suspect he was looking, but only through his mirror and saw that the road was clear after the previous car, which it was for a while!

The problem was that you were doing something unexpected, whenever you do something unusual, give other people plenty of opportunity to see and understand, and be prepared to give way.I agree, absolutely a lesson to learn. I could have been going slower.
