Default Someone ran into me

Soo im driving home and i get off 183 and head down to the traffic light that turns left to lakeline. I was in the turn or straight lane with the u-turn and turn only lane on my left. Some mother tryed to cut over at the traffic light and turned left into me. I avoided any major damage to both cars, But they are saying it was my fault.

So my question to you all is, There is a traffic camera at that light. Is there anyway to get a recording of the incident to prove I was in the right?

pics.. you can clearly see who's fault it was viva pics.

negative on the recording, I believe they are just still shot cam's......But if you were in the lane to go straight, or turn, and she was in the straight only lane..whilling to bet anyone with common sense, cop or not, will say they are at fault for not paying attention to the street signs.... JMO

Doesn't surprise me one bit. Lately I have been noticing more and more just how shitty the "new residents" of Austin drive. How these people ever got valid licenses is beyond me...

beleive me it ain't just Austin, Houston is ate up with dumb *** drivers i've noticed it getting worse and worse over the last couple of years, and why is it always little short women on their phones or eating or putting on ****** make-up and what not just drifting across traffic not even ****** looking. This is exactly why my cars stay in the garage most of the time.

who is "they" that are saying it was your fault? the other drivers? OF COURSE they are. just file with your insurance and have them go after the other folks.... as long as a cop was there to take a report

When I talked to you at the meet Saturday night I was not kidding: I have seen that exact same dumb bitch driving horribly around the Anderson Mill area.

Once she did the classic "pull out in front of traffic and not accelerate" maneuver. Another time I saw her sweep across about three lanes... no blinker of course.

You know I wasn't making it up because when you said it was a woman in an HHR, I said "Orange, right?"
