Crashed car but NCT was out

Hi folks, My wife had a crash last night where she overtook a car, but that car turned right as if to go down a road, and hit my wifes car as she went past. Other car had minor damage to the front light, but my wifes car has a fair bit of damage and was pushed almost over the wall. She claims the lady didnt have her…

If the driver was slowing down in preparation for a right turn, the driver behind should have expected the move. If driver was turning off onto a minor road, there would have been a continuous white line.
Either way, OPs wife was in the wrong.

Nope, car in front in the wrong, moving into a lane occupied by another vehicle. A car that turns into a car executing a legitimate overtaking move is prima facie wrong.

OP said broken white line. And certainly does not have to assume that a car that slows down, without indicating, is turning right.
