so after a day of graduation, and a dinner party and swimming at the pool at my parents hotel, i make the long drive (1.5 miles) back to my apartment....
well on the way back im driving down the side road for 1 block before i turn onto my apartment road (i go for a block)
and i see no oncoming cars, so i signal, and take a moving turn...... then as im halfway through the turn, i see it, a neon driving with only his parking lights on (its a dim lit street so i didnt see the parking lights or the car since he wasnt under a light)
anyway, i see him, give it some gas, he slows down, and missed me, but it was close, had he been some kid who wouldnt have given a rats ***, he could have hit me.....
hypothetical legal question........ its night, you turn in front of someone who has no headlights on, and they hit you, your fault or theirs?
