Never heard of "Lane change requires giving way to cars on your right" but not your left assuming it means cars in the lane to the right of you.
If you're changing lanes you have to give way to anyone in the lane you're moving into. Regardless of whether they are partially in front or behind your car.
The witch has tried to out maneuver you but you left the gate open, put it down to a racing incident with no further action but if you ever hear from her insurance again totally deny any fault at all. You were already half way across the lane when she decided to turn one lane into two lanes, that's right isn't it?
Point to remember, this is changing lanes not merging.

^^^ this bloke is correct!
ADR design rules has lane change indicators giving 4 blinks of the indicator which is roughly 4-5 seconds, travelling at 60kph this gives a distance of over 66 metres BUT most people lane change after only a few blinks or 2-3 seconds into the maneuver but this still gives around 32-34 metres of lane change warning.
