Here's the story:

I was pulling out of a parking spot on the side of the road going up a hill...the road becomes a dead end and it splits off in 2 directions before it does. The right way is a dead end and the left says no thru traffic. (this is in an apartment complex). I make a U-turn in the area the road branches out. Theres no signs that say no U-turn and theres really no other way to turn around. Im mosying on by at about 5 miles per hour, i was paranoid something might happen cause it was raining a bit and the road was wet.

Im more than half way done with my U-turn when a girl comes flying up the hill and smashes into my car with her bumper. She hits my fender and my door and it looked as if the wheel was bent a bit. I call the cops and one cop comes he takes a look and gets our stories and makes a report.

I get a carless driving ticket, she doesnt gert anything and is let off. They tow my car to the shop. I started arguing with the cop because of the ticket. There is no way this can be my fault., I was as careful as possible I looked in all dirrections, made sure it was clear and was driving very very carefully. She was obviosly speeding as she totally fucked up my car and pushed it to another angle going uphill. She didnt even slide into my car as if she was using her brakes. Also, I heard the cop tell the tow truck driving this was his first time on the job.

Who is really at fault here? She was young, probably younger than me (I'm 19) as she was going to her job to babysit. I was on my way to work leaving my girlfriend's place.

NOT TO MENTION THE TOW TRUCK FUCKED UP THE NOSE OF MY CAR!!!!!!!!! :mad: :mad:

somebody kill me :cry:

Bad news, dude, but legally you're at fault. I sympathise with you, I really do, but going by the letter of the law I'd have to find you at fault, too. :(

gotta think about will other see you next time you're doing a u turn.


on my road test for my license, the instructor told me to turn around in this one driveway... i told her no, its a bad idea, someone could fly around that corner and couldnt see me in time...

well, as im stopped by the driveway, (i didnt pull in to turn around) some jackass flys around the corner, he WOULD of hit us, and it would of been my fault......

heh, just gotta look dude.


BTW, thats how i passed the test,after seeing that, she took off the points she had given me for speeding.. i was doing 45 even, but the gauge looks like more from the pass seat.. :roll:

i can guarantee it's considered your fault. I am a claims adjustor for a living and see this kind of thing every day. I'd probably put around 90% liability on you.

heh, how would that help?

a fishtail is when the rear of the car wiggles from side to side... like a fishes tail when its swimming...

i think you're trying to say, next time pull a 180... :finger:


in anycase, what he should do it the future is just keep in mind if other people can see you... thats all...


btw if you do a 180 or anything else like that in the street, and a cop sees ya, hes probly going to bitch at you... or worse.
