On Sunday i was side swiped by another vehicle, both traveling in same direction on a dual carriage way i was in left lane they were in right lane no indication just pulled in front of me hitting o/s front wing, wheel and bumper forcing me onto a grass verge and nearly up a bank
and causing themselves to lose control and ending up the bank.
Police has put other driver at fault and will recommend a drivers awareness course because they admitted to seeing a silver car in the distance and not me beside them.
