Hi Ains

Sounds to me as though the whole thing happened in under a second!

I seem to remember being told that a green light means that you proceed only if the road is clear. I assume she is saying that she was already turning as you hit her and is not admitting to taking a chance and trying to beat the oncoming traffic. Also the only other witness seems to agree with her.

Were you in your own lane or were you sharing a a lane with the clio? If you were sharing a lane I imagine the police will assume that you would have accelerated away faster than the cars to get clear space. Sounds like that is where the police are coming from.

All you can do is stand your ground. I had an accident when another car hit me from the nearside as I went through a set of lights. I was sure that I had gone through on green but the woman whose car hit me was adamant that I'd gone through on red. I got the blame off the insurance companies and lost my no claims. Now when I go through a green light I slow down and look both ways before continuing. Hard lesson learnt.

I wish you the best of luck!

Phil
