Many weeks ago now, my daughter was on her way to work and this happened:

Caused by this:
It was on HER side of the road on a bend, but the insurers say it's 50/50 because 'that's what usually happpens on narrow country lanes'. She tried to steer away to avoid contact, but he didn't.
Here's the proof about what side it was on:
The small pile of dirt is from her o/s wheel arch. The tractor had at least 9 ft of empty road to use on it's n/s, but chose not to.
He said she lost control and skidded into him ( at 15 mph) but the dashcam proved him wrong there.
Who's to blame?
The insurers also tried to convince my daughter that the Highway Code says that large vehicles 'have priority' (Rule 221). Gross misrepresentation of the Highway Code at least!
Car is writtten off, she will lose her NCB and will have increased premiiums.
Feckin' tractor drivers!
