I take it the damage to his car is on the front passenger corner and you have driver's side damage somewhere along the side of your car, right? You were well aware that he was a cop by sight of the car, as you said, so in order for you to have hit him and caused that damage you would have to be hauling ass off of the signal. Not only would such behavior be uncharacteristic to your record (no ticket in 4 years), but it would be especially stupid to do right in front of an officer so that's impossible for you to have done. You had a much longer distance to cover in turning from the right hand lane and I would cite these features in whatever pursuit occurs. The damage and timing neccessary for his claim do not correlate.
