Highway code states:
129
Double white lines where the line nearest you is solid. This means you MUST NOT cross or straddle it unless it is safe and you need to enter adjoining premises or a side road. You may cross the line if necessary, provided the road is clear, to pass a stationary vehicle, or overtake a pedal cycle, horse or road maintenance vehicle, if they are travelling at 10 mph (16 km/h) or less.
[Laws RTA 1988 sect 36 & TSRGD regs 10 & 26]
send that to the other sides solicitors and wait for the settlement cheque to hit your doormat

She is in the right as she was turning into a side road, Scott, you crossed the lines and were not turning into a side road so are in the wrong.

her car was not stationary (even tho you thought it) and it was not a cycle, horse or Road maintenance vehicle therefore you were in the wrong again
From witness statements i'm sure they will see that Jamz and myself overtook her to avoid collision but wayne, paul & gem had stopped therfore you should have had time to stop.
not trying to be negative just giving thoughts for you to prepare yourself, i can see this being a long drawn out case. hopefully for you it wont be and with all the witnesses on your side you will and should!! win this case.
