Was this possible car accident my fault?

I was pulling out of my neighborhood one morning. I turned right after stopping at the stop sign. There was no one coming from the lane I was turning on. However, on the other side of the road there was a dump truck and a SVU. Right after I turned right, the SVU decided to pass the dump truck (it was a passing lane). She almost hit me head on! Was it her fault or mine? I don't feel like I did anything wrong.

If you were in your proper lane and headed in the proper direction then the accident would have been her fault for unsafe passing.

It would be her fault, you had the right of way. When you go to pass another vehicle, you are at your own risk.

Well defensive driving would tell you to take a REAL GOOD look before turning--but no--you did nothing wrong--just poor timing on her part. Thank God you did not get hit. But she would have violated your lane and would have been at fault. Was it a passing zone or a solid stripe NO passing zone?? That would have cost her plenty if she did get caught

I think it would be her fault, not yours.
She should have been looking for oncoming traffic.


what u talkin' bout?

I would say that it would have been the fault of the driver of the SUV.

I believe that it would have been her fault for not looking for possible traffic before passing the truck. dont worry, its not your fault.

IT WOULD HAVE BEEN HERE FAULT FOR CHANGING LANES AND PASSING AT OR NEAR AN INTERSECTION.

BY THE WAY AN SVU IS "SPECIAL VICTIMS UNIT".

If you are strait in the lane it is the other persons fault. When enter an intersection people are not suppose to change lanes. Sometimes matters the cop who shows up, but in court I think it would not be your fault or a no fault if it is in the intersection.
