My mate called me tonight and told me he's been in an accident with his focus

I went round to have a look at the car and he explained what happened.

Basically there was a guy infront of him, he was keeping a good distance, about 30 miles an hour in a residential area (funny enough, where the bloke lives) and the bloke indicated left to pull up.

He pulls up, and my mate passes, and just as he was passing, the bloke pulled out again without putting his right indicator on.

He side swiped my mates focus about 2 foot forward of the passenger side door handle, and the scrapes show it goes right down the side right up to the start of the rear wheel arch.

That sent my mate out of control and straight into a corsa parked on the other side of the road.

Anyway, my mate's car is fucked, the corsa is fucked, and the other blokes car is pretty much fucked.

So my mate goes to speak to him about what happened, and the bloke immidiatly gives his insurance details, registration and address (which he was right outside of) and my mate offers his details, to which the bloke replies 'Nah its ok mate, we'll sort it out tomorrow'

Now that sounds dodgy to me, i reckon he was either pissed, or has no insurance, so until tomorrow we can't really tell.

My mate didn't think to call the police as there were no injuries, spillages, or blocked roads. But he did call them when he got home (which is only about 1/4 of a mile down the road) and told them he suspected the bloke had been drinking, and they didn't want to know! They told him to go to the police station tomorrow and sort it out!

What i'd like to know is who is at fault? Where on the side of the car is it then classed as 'hit at the back'?

This is a pic showing where the offside wing hit my mates focus, and where it made contact to (look from left to right)



Any advice appreciated. Cheers
