Regardless of who found it first, the law is clear. One more thing is clear.. You were not a witness to what happened. You do not know if it was reasonable for my wife to move to the right outside the roundabout, or not. You did not see where that other car came from. Clearly it was not in front of or behind us where it belonged for a left turn. If behind or even beside us it was reasonable to expect the other driver to exit with us, not try a left turn from the right lane. That's what the police report said and the other driver's insurance adjuster agreed.

It's you who is testifying without proof. Stop lying about what you cannot even know.
