I was driving home the other night through downtown Austin, Texas on a two lane street with parallel parking places lining it on my side. There was a car next to one of the parked cars with its Emergency Flashers on stopped in the road. I proceeded to go around the car aware of the fact that their was a policeman behind me. A truck was approaching from the other direction and honked at me. The truck proceeded to slow down and was actually beside my car after I had gone around the stopped car. The occupants of the truck made hand gestures and yelled, and then went on to spin their tires and drive away. The policeman aimed his light at the truck, but continued to follow me and eventaully turned on his lights and gave me a ticket for "Failure to yield to oncoming traffic." How is it determined whether I was supposed to yield or not, and do I have a good case? Thanks for the help.
