buttt according to your drawing what you did was illegal, you cant cross over 3 lanes of traffic at the same time, i know because ive been given a ticket for it before

edit: and also she has the right to turn left before you to turn right :-/

Two things:

1. I didn't cross 3 lanes of traffic, but rather 2 lanes of traffic and a center turning lane, so I'm covered there.
2. We were both turning left.
3. Actually, the person turning right vs the lefty has the right of way, hence the term "right of way."

maybe even go as far as to write a letter to DOT, complaining about the precariousness of that section of road; with enough accidents and complaints, they'll probably look into it and fix it.

There is no way to "fix" it, due to the setup of the parking lots in the area. I'm just gonna go out the other way from my apartment complex from now on. I only have one working car left lol.

Good luck with the recovery. If they claim the car totaled make sure you grab parts out of it to sell on here =)

If by others you mean, the witnesses, myself, the people I talked to, and other "officials speaking off the record" then yes, they all agree it was her fault. I really want to stay out of the court room but if I have to I'm prepared.
