I have a question about if I am at fault (Driver 1).
I, Driver 1, was driving in the far right lane and a big truck pulled out in front of the two vehicles in front of me. Both vehicles changed lanes and went into the left lane. So, I looked up and into mirror, and started to attempt to merge to the left lane, granted I never even crossed the line. The Driver 2 was in the left lane and I assume thought I was going to pursue the lane change. Driver 2 jerked her wheel to the left so hard that she lost control of her vehicle and her car completely turned around and came at me with her front right bumper and hit my back left passenger door. Granted, I NEVER changed lanes! She totally overreacted and I was traveling in the same lane I originally was in, the far right lane, when she struck my vehicle. The officer is saying that "I was the reason she lost control of her vehicle because she thought I was changing lanes and that I guess some people control their vehicles better than others." I am upset and just want to know if I am totally at fault for this! Thanks!
