Hi Ains

Bad luck on the accident. Hope you're ok. (Is that another rare 888 down?)

I'm a driving instructor of 15yrs, and come across this situation almost on a daily basis. Usually its my car that's 'stuck in the middle' waiting to turn at the filter arrow because my pupil is slow moving off, and the oncoming cars move away too soon. Bear in mind that the green light controls the solid white line (not the junction) and only means you can go if it's safe to do so.

From your point of view: If the oncoming car had already crossed her line (which it appears she had from what you say), I'd have kept my pupil behind the line on my side until the crossroad was completely clear. So long as she was over her line before you were over yours, she'd have priority, and you shouldn't move off.

Hope you get it sorted.
ATB
Steve
