Damage like that would be very easy to use as evidence to fight for a 100% claim, rather than 50/50. Its corner damage, not rear/front. As long as the position of the cars at the time of impact is recorded (she does have photos of that doesn't she?) you couldn't get damage like that (unless she'd swerved off the road and clipped him.) If it was a straight impact, you'd be shafted, and paying out.
But it's 100% the responsibility of the driver changing lanes to ensure it's clear to go. And a safe gap in a motorway traffic jam, certainly isn't even enough to even get an Aygo in!
Bloke sounds like a bit of a bully/twat trying to muscle his way in.
