Police do not asses fault in a collision. They determine from the evidence before them if an offence has been committed. This does not automatically deem the other driver at fault. ICBC determines fault based on a number of factors but their rules are much different than those of Criminal Court. Civil liability is much different. As some have noted simply allow your signal to activate once or twice then turning may be deemed legal in a criminal stand point but would likely be deemed unsafe or reckless civily. A driver has a duty of care to make any movements with due care and as has been pointed out you can not simply just turn because your signal is on with out first ensuring that movement can be made safely. If you are driving that slow on a roadway a prudent driver should expect other drivers would likely pass them and as such any movement that would interfere with them doing so would have to be made very cautiously. Also your thread title is missleading as I did not read anything that would suggest the officer lied. He gave an account based on his observations, just like your brother. Maybe your brother lied about signalling as there is as much evidence of that in your post as the other person lied.

I suspect the end result will be a 50%/50%.

The province needs to improve their instruction on driving and teach much more defensive driving and things like this would stop happening.
