What to do if I was in an accident and was cited with a failure to yield from a private drive?
I went to court today and pleaded not guilty and they gave me a date to return and plead my case. How do I defend myself? I am confident that I entered the road safely and the reason why she and I collided was because she was speeding. when I checked her way I know I she was not visible on the road. I remember listening, radio off and heard nothing. This means that she had to be driving too fast for me to give her right of way. I was already straight on the road and accelerating about 15 mph; she squealed her tiers for about 2 seconds and then hit me on 3 seconds and turned her wheel to the right hitting me with her front driver side to my rear passenger.
