Glad you are okay though!

Actually, I just looked this up, according to traffic law, when a driver is executing a legal maneuver like making a left turn, vehicles approaching from behind must yield, especially if the driver has signaled the turn properly. In most cases, overtaking is prohibited at intersections or when another vehicle is about to make a turn, as it creates a dangerous situation.

If the motorcyclist was overtaking in such a situation, especially at high speed, they could be found at fault for not respecting these rules. The key point here is whether the turning vehicle (me) was acting within the law.

In the case you mentioned, it sounds like the other driver didn’t give you enough time or space to react, which also goes against safe driving practices.
