    Was exiting at a T junction in Drimnagh from Carrow Rd onto Kilworth, there's no stop, yield line or sign, but I always stop at it. Nothing was coming, had made the exit and was almost parallel to road when a speeding car came from behind me and tried to undertake me on my left hand side. My bumper collided with the middle of his car leaving a scrape down his side.

    Am I at fault because, regardless of where I was on exiting, he has the right of way?

    As I read the map you could turn left or right in to Kilworth Road.

    In that case you would have to yield to any traffic coming from your right hand side along Kilworth Road.

    It is not clear where the other car came from. Did it come from behind you on Kilworth Road or did it turn left, with you, from Carrow Road ?

    If the other car was already on Kilworth Road and coming from your right you will have to explain why you did not see him and why you did not yield.

    If he turned left with you he has to explain what he was doing !

    If the road was clear when you entered it he may have been speeding and that might also explain why he tried undertaking you. In this case you might be liable but he could be guilty of contributory negligence.
