    Default Re: Car Accident - Question on Right of Way when Changing Lanes

    I am posting it here from the penndot site :
    § 3309. Driving on roadways laned for traffic.
    Whenever any roadway has been divided into two or more clearly marked lanes
    for traffic the following rules in addition to all others not inconsistent
    therewith shall apply:
    (1) Driving within single lane.--A vehicle shall be driven as nearly as
    practicable entirely within a single lane and shall not be moved from the
    lane until the driver has first ascertained that the movement can be made
    with safety.

    There was a third car which hit me after my car hit the road side barrier and stopped. The police has made reference to what she said in the police crash report -
    "I was way into the middle lane and a black car (camaro) was changing into the middle lane from the left lane." Now , this left lane was closed ahead.
    Wasn't the camaro supposed to slow and wait before changing lanes ? I was doing 65 miles an hour and I bet that camaro was doing well over 100 miles an hour.

    I dont' get any points and it is not about money as I have already lost in the magisterial court which was a joke and a waste of time. But, it shows me at fault with my insurance company and
    it already paid the third car for the damages. I cant change the accident but want to see this as "not at fault"

    You lost on the traffic ticket and your insurance paid the other vehicle.

    That makes you at fault in the eyes of the law and in the eyes of your insurance company.

    Sorry, but there's no way to change that.

    It's not that.

    My insurance paid long back to the other vehicle. The traffic ticket came later on..
