Did you delay lane changing back to the right hand lane and she didn't because if you had lane changed as soon as you had cleared the cars waiting to turn right she would've still been in the left lane clearing those cars and she wouldn't have been able to come up the inside. So, if you did delay moving back into the right hand lane and she didn't then I think you have lane changed into her...sorry.
More to the point, Scott wasn't trying to be Ayrton Senna, putting on a slingshot pass at the chicane exit and was driving like a normal person.

Alleged aggrieved party was trying to be a smartarse with the "gotta be one car in front syndrome". Came off second best. You wouldn't try that trick in the lineup at the front bar. Quick way to get yourself knocked out !

So it's tough luck, in my book.

The law, however, is different. Proportions of blame will be distributed.

Paying allotted portions of repair cost's of course.

Watch the cost of repair drop dramatically then !!!
