What is the name of your state? Oregon HI there here is the situation that i understood by what she told me. She was in a parking lot trying to go left. There are two lanes of traffic that are going right that she would have to cross to get to the medium. The car in the right lane,closest to her,stopped so she could cross. After looking to the left into the lane further from her,she saw no cars coming so she proceded to the medium. Next thing she knew, she and another car collided. She thinks the other car came from behind the car that stopped for her,so this car passes the car to the left causing them to collide. Is she still totally at fault since she looked and there was no other car? The officer that arrived there gave her a ticket for reckless driving. Does she plead not guilty? She says she doesnt feel that she did anything reckless because when she looked,there were no cars coming. She says that the only way she could have missed this car is if it was waiting behind the car that stopped for her,got impatient and went around the car to the left,which is where she was passing to get into the medium. She said that there is a witness and she emailed her from work to see if she saw where this car came from. If it did in fact come from the car behind the one that stopped for her,does she try to fight the ticket? Is what she did really reckless driving? Well,this is what she wanted to know,she goes to court over the traffic ticket tomorrow morning. Your advice is really appreciated! Thanks in advance!
