My question involves a traffic ticket from the state of: NY
I was involved in an accident today, I was waiting to take a left (to go eastbound) from my driveway (onto a state road that has one lane of travel in each direction as welol as a left turn lane for eastbound traffic that starts right around where my driveway is) traffic was slowing for a light ahead and a car heading westbound stopped and waived so I could make a left turn. I look both ways and there is NOTHING coming eastbound as they are all stopped at the other side of a light down the road. I proceed to make the left turn and BAM someone went around the stopped vehicles in the opposite direction (westbound in the eastbound left turn lane).
I was shocked when the officer told me I could pick up the police report tomorrow, he just to figure out what percent liable to hold me for the accident (no one was ticketed). The officer stated the majority lies on the other driver but I crossed a yellow line and a driver is never supposed to do so from a private drive way.
Can someone point me to this in the NYS traffic law and maybe any case law that interprets my situation of courts ruling on my situation (you can or cannot drive over a yellow line while making a left out of a private drive way). I'd like to have this info before I talk to the insurance company...
