Anyway, my question is, just out of interest... in a situation like this, saying we'd actually collided - who'd be held liable for the damages in the event of an insurance claim? I assume he would for pulling out on me, but I can never be sure about the way insurers work.
Thoughts?

Someone in the left lane changed lane suddenly and without indicating and pulled right in front of me without looking, doing about 50. At night, with my headlights on main beam. Suicide attempt, surely??? At least I know now that ABS is awesome
