I didn’t get a ticket, but during the heart of tge of Covid lockdowns, i was in a fenderbender out in tulsa.
I was pulling left out of a hotel parking lot. There were five lanes, two headed right, two left, with a left turn lane in the middle. The turning lane stopped at the hotel entrance.
The traffic light about a half block down from the hotel was red, and a couple nice drivers stopped to leave me a gap to get out. As i pulled across the turning lane, a lady headed in the same direction the traffic that let me out was going slammed into the front of my companies dodge 3500. Barely dented up the front but did some damage to her car.
She was trying to drive around the stopped traffic and run the red light to get to the freeway onramp up ahead. I took all the pictures. There was absolutely no legal thing she could have been doing… she was in a turning lane that ended right where the accident happened and there was nowhere for her to turn left to… there were no entryways on the opposite side of the road…
The cops initially refused to come out because of covid. Then she claimed she was hurt, so the fire department came out and made us both pull off the road, then the cops showed up. They didn’t cite ne but did put me down as “at fault” because according to them regardless of what illegal thing the other driver might have been doing, tge driver turning left is ALWAYS at fault…
Im pretty sure that is not true… but hey , I didn’t get fined… so whatever…
