This happened to one of my best friends a few months back, and she has court tomorrow... Long story short, she was rear ended by a car that did not notice her slowing to make a left turn, and the girl freaked out on her. The girl who rear ended her said that my friend did not use her turn signal, and the officer who responded to the scene issued my friend a ticket for this. Now I may be wrong, but in traffic offenses like that, dosen't the officer have to witness the violation to issue the citation? Also, this may or may not be important, but my friend said she did use her signal, and I have no reason to believe otherwise (she always does when i'm in the car with her), but there is no mention in the police report of my friend stating that she did use her signal... I'm just looking for the wisest course of action to help her out, because, realistically, the girl who hit her was paying enough attention to know that she didden't use her signal, but not enough attention to slow in time to avoid rear ending her? Dosen't make sense to me.... To spice things up, the girl's insurance company has agreed to pay for the damages...
