I commit into minor accident this morning.

So I’d like to seek your opinion.

(pls refer to my illustration: http://i.imgur.com/0NfOw.jpg )
so basically the blue is my car, the red is the person’s car.

i came out from 6′o, threw signal after i passed the entry at my left (so now i am at the point as illustrated)

then got this one car trying to exit his junction in front of me,
he then slows down as he sees me want to enter the 12′o.
but when my car just besides his car, he goes further.
so my back left door collides with his front right light.

my door got dents and scratches while his light was broken.

do u think who’s at fault?
bcs afaik, one should give way to the person in the roundabout first.

n then, i think to just “settle” and no need to lodge police report.
however i afraid if he backstab and he go make report.
bcs the 24 hour almost over.
will i be fined?

p.s: pardon my english ;p

My friend had involved in an accident recently. The time he turning his car to right to enter another road at T-junction. But he didn’t noticed a car was came straight with very fast speed. he unable to stop his car and accident was happened. in this accident, both cars had some damage, but both party just seem like no injured.

After that, he went to the police station to make report. police had decided as he fault in this accident.

The victim will claim the the vehicle damage to my friend’s insurance company.

besides that, the victim also want my friend to pay him for the medical check up fee, fee to hire car due to repairing of his car may take few weeks, and also the market value of the victim car will drop after the accident since his car is new (about 6 months) and the car never encounter accident before. the victim said if my friend don’t want pay his losses, he will ask a lawyer to sue my friend.

What should my friend to do? Is the losses should pay by the insurance company or my friend, or no need to pay ?

Please give your advice.

Thanks.
