[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you search the name of the driver who hit the car carrying 4 passengers he comes up with a Facebook group for a Potomac area car club and their Facebook page is all about meeting to "race" down area roads--with jokes about riding at top speeds and evading police.

So who knows what happened.  Sounds like the one car made an error and the other car was owned by a member of a group of people who hold speeding events on public roads. [/quote]

Interesting. I just searched and his social media now seems to be locked or taken down. Whatever the case, the accident will be considered the fault of the driver who pulled into oncoming traffic - that's just the law. Doesn't matter if the other driver was speeding, texting or standing on their head. The onus is on the driver pulling into an existing lane to ensure that s/he can do so safely. I'm the PP who was in a similar accident after trying to turn across a busy street and I'm sure the driver who hit us was distracted. But it didn't matter in terms of the law, and it really wouldn't have mattered if anyone had gotten hurt. We all can only control our own vehicles. We all need to drive defensively. I know how easy it is when you're in the car to be focused on where you're going, what you have to do. But nothing is more important than getting there safely. Think about your safety and those around you every time you need to pull across traffic.[/quote]
