    Post Other driver at fault and driving with no license.

    Just last night I was involved in an accident, I mad a turn on to a two way four lane street. The other driver signaled at the last moment to the right as I was behind him in the right. The driver then moved over completely to the left lane and then attempted to turn right. As I was driving behind him I saw him move over to left and come to a slow stop I attempted to pass on the right. As I was passing he continued his turn to the right from the left lane and hit my rear door. The driver was an imagrant with no license no insurance and no information besides a phone number and luckily the accident happened outside his place of business. I don't believe I was at fault, what do you guys think? Also, since he has no license, never had one, and was driving his bosses car will he be automatically considered at fault?

    Fault depends upon the facts. For example, if you are describing that the person was driving a truck, signalled right, pulled over to the left slightly due to the size of the vehicle so he could complete the turn, and you ignored the signal and attempted to zip around the corner, then there's a good argument that you're at fault.

    Whether or not he has a license isn't relevant to causation.

    The thing here is that it is unlikely that he will show up in court to testify. What did the police say? File a claim with the boss's insurance company and notify the INS that he is employing illegal aliens.
