Well, here's what happened.
was on my cycle following a car about 25 feet behind her for at least 1/4 of a mile, car decides to pull into parking lane and stop. I start to slow down, then I decide to pass her, because my lane is now open. This is on a 2 way residental street, w/ parking lanes on both sides. As I pass her she pulls across my lane of traffic, the on coming lane of traffic and trys to pull into her driveway on other side of street. As she is doing this, she leaves me no where to go but stay with her on the side of her car, when she is 90 degrees my bike and her car meet about where the front fender and drivers side door are on her car. The police show up and give me a ticket for following too close. The way the police report shows it is that I went into the oncoming traffic lane to pass her, but thats not what happened! DO I have a case? do they have a case?
