I was driving a 10' U-Haul truck, and was waiting on a turn lane to take a left turn.
from the opposite direction a pick-up truck was coming and had its left turn signal ON, and was moving towards HIS turn lane, (he had like one of his tires on the turn lane which i did not mention in my report to the cops - i had a co-passenger who told me this only after the cops gave me a ticket), i moved a little forward and the pickup truck came ahead and slammed into the front of my truck on the right side...and I have a ticket with failure to yield right of way on left turn.
Cops said I should be 100% sure that the lane is sure before taking the left turn. I called up some lawyers and they say they can give me a no-point violation, but the fee are exorbitant and like 600$ minimum apart from the fine and court fee. I am a graduate student and cant afford this. So I need some advice...how can i argue myself so as to get no-points?
Thanks in Advance
