[QUOTE="Coiled03, post: 15995219, member: 18779"] I've had several less than pleasant experiences, but the one that stands out was when I was written a ticket for causing an accident that wasn't my fault. I was 16 years old driving my first mustang, a black, 88 GT. Double left turn lane, I was in the inside lane. I'm coming up to the light, it's red, and there's a mini van at the light already in the outside lane. Light turns green while I'm still moving at a decent clip. I make my turn on the inside lane like any other time, not blazing fast or anything. The mini van came over into my lane, and hit me in the right rear quarter panel, broke the tail light housing, and sent some shards of glass into the outside lane. The pieces were in that lane because the tangential velocity would've carried the pieces out there when they broke off. That's basic physics, and in most cases, accident reconstruction 101. Nevermind the fact that the traffic that passed by while we were waiting could've easily moved the pieces. Anyhow, cop said that since they found pieces of my car in the other lane, that proved it was my fault. Uhhh....what?! I about lost my shit, but didn't say anything. What was I going to say, as a 16 year old driving a muscle car, that would change their mind? You can imagine what that did to my insurance rates for the next several years, as if they weren't high enough already. [/QUOTE]
