Who's is at fault in this accident?

Well, though you were driving over the speed limit, the other driver was at fault for the accident. The law states that when turning left you should enter the intersection and wait for an opening clear enough to safely make the turn, even if the light turns red after you are in the intersection, legally if you have entered the intersection you are allowed to complete your turn after the light turns and you have the right-away. So the other driver should have waited until you were safely out of the way before turning, so the accident was the other driver's fault. However, the fact that you were speeding does not look so good so many insurance companies will put you at fault because of reckless behavior. The only illegal action you did was speeding as the light was yellow and not red, it is legal to go through a yellow light. It is likely that you will be ticketed with reckless endangerment also.

You crossed a late yellow light at excessive speeds while not checking to see if there was a car waiting to make a left hand turn in the intersection. You are at fault.

u were honest enough to put down what happened i.e u speeding as well so i will give you a honest answer

you were both at fault

ssparkle63

AS any Police officer will tell you, an Amber light means stop, before it goes to red. The red light then is indicating that you must not proceed until the light is green. You admit you were exceeding the speed limit, but if you were going at the correct speed, you would have seen the other car moving to turn left. You are clearly in the wrong, and it is stupid drivers like you who keep pushing up the cost of car insurance. I hope you are never allowed on the road again.

" accident racing some girls, i was going over the speed limit and passed a late yellow light speeding"

Your fault in the accident for this, also if you have a red light ticket, I'm assuming you jumped the light and got flashed.

If you were speeding it was your fault. That is the way they will look at it. Kinda like you were breaking the law before the accident took place.

It does sound like the accident was her fault BUT you said yourself that it was a late yellow light. Cops are allowed to give tickets for passing through a yellow light. Be careful next time, don't race, and maybe that wont happen to you.

Your both at fault, but she has the advantage of finding witnesses to vouch for her. What you need to do is prove beyond a reasonable doubt that its not your fault. If she hit you in the rear then get photo evidence and forensic to prove it.

Get police officers who were on the scene to testify for you.

You shouldnt be racing in the streets period. Let that be a lesson.

You're admitting that you were speeding through a yellow light. That means that, if you hadn't been speeding, you would have had to stop for the light, and this accident never would have occurred. Sounds to me like that makes you responsible.

maca

clearly everyone else including the police, think you are at fault and by your own admission were racing this car

cutiepie81289

you shouldn't have been speeding and maybe she looked and didn't see anyone coming and you came out like a bat out of hell, yellow light means to slow down and stop not go thru I say it's your fault but hopefully you live in a no fault state

Serena

It's your fault.

sparkey

you were racing by your own admission and therfore are to blame if you were not speeding the accident would not have happened
with any luck you will be banned and the roads will be safer for the rest of us

Look at what you wrote, you were "speeding" & "racing some girls"... why???... you were driving without due care & attention, if you had not been going so fast you would not have been hit by the car turning left....are you 13 or just a halfwit?....

tom4bucs

1) you were racing
2) you admit to going over the speed limit

charges from me: willful and wanton driving involving an accident to YOU

Racing in illegal in most states, AND you were speeding. The cards are NOT in your favor. The other person has witnesses, you are cooked.

You were at fault and will be lucky if you don't lose your license.

You were racing, you were speeding, you went through a yellow light while you were speeding...... and you are trying to blame someone else.

Get a life pal, totally your fault and hopefully you will be dealt with accordingly.

my babys rock!!!!!!!!!

Your at fault, and I am guessing the girls won then huh? You are lucky if you weren't issued a citation for racing, you could lose your license for that. It was reckless.

sux_2b_ewe

Well, this clearly isn't in the USA. If it was then she would clearly be at fault, since the person who rear-ends another vehicle is always at fault. Since she turned into traffic without checking, then she is at fault. One is never to assume the way is clear simply because they have the light. If that weren't true then one could turn into a crosswalk and mow down pedestrians who hadn't quite made it across yet. You, however, are guilty of speeding.

tlionhart

you...and racing...what an idiot...leave it to a race track

Unfortunately you have some fault there since you were speeding and crossed a yellow light. If you had been doing the speed limit you many have had time to slow down before the light became red. The other driver is also at fault if you did cross the intersection before the light became red, since her light would have been red and she failed to check for oncoming traffic (you) before she turned. I don't think you will have much luck winning this one since you were illegally racing & speeding which contributed to the accident.

Technically she was at fault as she hit you from behind...

although if the police or ur insurance companies here's this story (and they'll figure it out when they come to investigate it) you both will be prosecuted, have ur licences taken away and probably go to jail for reckless driving and possible harm to yourself and others as well as criminal damage

Both parties were incredibly stupid, and u deserve it for being idiotic drivers

roadranger

well you know you were wrong in racing but she should not have turn in front of you and a yellow light means caution get a good lawer and you may win
