Accidents & Incidents Accident w electric scooter in CA

1 Upvotes

hi everyone, i was recently in a car accident and need your opinion/advice. i was trying to exit out of a parking lot at night and there was a guy on an electric scooter going through the sidewalk who hit my car (by the headlights) and flew off since he was going relatively fast. he looked like he was in pain (arms only) and refused to call the cops and ambulance. i didn't know what to do so i ended up taking him home. there, i called the cops since i wasn't sure what info i could exchange with him since he didn't have a driver's license or any valid id. ultimately, they made me exchange my id and insurance info for his id from his country. i have a dash cam that recorded the entire incident but it doesn't seem like i went to a complete stop before going into the sidewalk. but, there was a pillar next to the exit which made it difficult to see this guy coming to begin with let alone his speed. he keeps calling and messaged me that he doesn't want problems so he just wants money for his arm and to fix his scooter. should i just respond to him and give him some cash (how much?) or tell him to contact my insurance? he couldn't speak english so he sent me a screenshot of another phone with the text saying "say this" in spanish and then asking for money below

Questions & Help Question about traffic fines

1 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

I moved to the Netherlands in May 2024, and today I received my first traffic fines after being stopped by the police.

I drive between Eindhoven and Amsterdam almost every day. Today, while driving back to Eindhoven after exiting the A2 motorway, I was pulled over by the police.

The officer told me that he had stopped me for three reasons: using my phone, speeding, and following another vehicle too closely.

He said he wouldn’t fine me for speeding because it was my first offence and the fine would be quite high, so he would only give me a warning for that. However, he said he would issue two fines for the other offences and asked for my explanation.
Regarding the phone, I admitted that I was holding it, although I wasn’t looking at it, and I didn’t dispute the offence. As for following too closely, I asked where and how exactly this had happened, but the officer simply told me that I could appeal the fine if I disagreed.

My main concern is that the officer also mentioned I would receive a letter from the CBR. I’m not sure what this means. Could my driving licence be suspended or revoked? Could this result in a criminal record?
The officer didn’t confiscate my driving licence and specifically said that I would only receive two traffic fines.

Has anyone experienced something similar, particularly receiving a letter from the CBR after a traffic stop? I’d really appreciate hearing about your experiences.

Thank you in advance!

Questions & Help Who has the right of way when two cars are making left turns at a highway interchange in Georgia?

Post image
0 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I was exiting a highway at a traffic light where you can only turn left or right. My light turned solid green, so I started making a left turn onto the main road.

At the same time, another driver on the main road also began a left turn from left turning lane, but they were turning onto the highway entrance ramp. Their intersection has a regular traffic light with a dedicated left-turn signal, but I couldn’t see what color their light was.

We both reached the middle of the intersection around the same time, and our paths crossed. I ended up having to brake and wait for them to finish their left turn before I could continue mine.

I’m just trying to understand who had the right of way under Georgia traffic laws and what I should do in this situation. I’ve never had this happen before, and I make this turn pretty regularly, so I want to know how to handle it safely if it happens again.

I’ve attached a drawing to help explain the situation.

Questions & Help What are the chances I'll get a ticket for an illegal U-turn ?

0 Upvotes

About a week ago in Cypress, California, I accidentally made an illegal U-turn at a light that had a "no U-turn" sign. I waited for it to be green, waited for the road to be clear before making the turn. Only about a week later (now) did I realize what the sign said, and i'm worried sick about getting a ticket. My friends have reassured me I probably will not get one, as there were no police in the area and the cameras typically do not detect illegal U-turns. Can anybody please tell me what the likelihood of receiving a ticket is? Please and thank you.

Questions & Help Turning right when there's a bike lane

3 Upvotes

Merge into the bike lane: Look for where the solid white line breaks into a dotted/dashed line (usually up to 200 feet before the intersection). Yield to any cyclists already in the bike lane, and merge your vehicle into the bike lane so you are as close to the right curb or edge of the road as practicable.

What are you supposed to do if there is no dotted/dashed line before the intersection? In my neighborhood, there are many bike lanes where the line is solid all the way up to the corner. In such a case, should I stay out of the bike lane?

Traffic Cameras 3 Month License suspension on Red P plate - worth appealing?

0 Upvotes

Back in August a speed camera caught me going over the limit

Recorded speed: 93 km/h
Speed limit: 60 km/h
Location: WestConnex M8 Tunnel, Sydney
Fine: $608
Demerit points: 4

These were the results I’ve paid the fine since and lost 4 demerit points and face a 3 month suspension in November and mind you it’s my first and only offence I’ve ever had I didn’t even realise that was the limit. Is it worth appealing or just cop it on the chin?

Questions & Help Bad culture or am I mistaken

Post image
0 Upvotes

In USA, Massachusetts. The two red arrows have stop signs, green does not. It's a solid double yellow line curving to the right from green but there is a gap at the intersection, which is normal for places where taking a left turn is allowed. Green also comes around a blind curve so the stop signs don't see anyone coming until the last second. Which means green also can't see if anyone is crossing the stop lines before they commit to going left.

Cars from green in my experience do not stop to go left. They blast across the double yellow line like it is a fork in the road. Which the curving to the right double yellow suggests they are supposed to stop or slow before going left.

Am I wrong in assuming green is supposed to wait until it's safe? I have seen a few near fist fights start here.

Questions & Help Fl Traffic Cameras

0 Upvotes

Please forgive me if this isn't the right place to ask this...

Backstory: My son was in a pretty bad car accident and we're 99% sure he's the victim of an insurance scammer. Nonsensical lane change then dead stop on a 75+ highway type of deal. His truck was less than a month old so he didn't even have time to put a dashcam in. However, there is FL DOT traffic cam that has direct view. How do I know it has direct view? Bc the accident got featured on numerous local pages with stills from said camera, but only the aftermath. I submitted a FOIA request to FL DOT for the footage of the 5 minutes prior to which they responded that it's a Livestream only camera and they don't save any footage. I find this hard to believe since it implies that there are people just sitting there watching and waiting to take stills after an incident occurs... which maybe there are just seems odd.

So now my question... Do I need to word my request in a specific manner? Is there any way to backdoor this?

Questions & Help Failure to Yield in GA

2 Upvotes

I received a Failure to Yield ticket in GA, which caused an accident. I was turning left with no oncoming traffic, but someone decided to enter the turn lane too early (GA CODE 40-6-126) as she was in the turn lane more than 300 feet before her intended turn. The officer didn't give her a ticket, but explicitly told me that she was illegally in the turn lane.

I am hoping to go to court to fight this, as even though I was the one turning, she was illegally in the lane. Is this worth fighting/ going to court for, and do I have a chance of dismissal or no points? TIA!

Edit: I was given a clear opening between cars waiting at a red light. She was originally in the line of cars in the lane waiting to go at the light, then decided to enter the turn lane early to try to get to the light quicker. As I’ve stated in comments, when I was starting to turn, she had not yet moved, not being a threat at that moment. If I had seen her, I obviously wouldn’t have gone. I hope this clarification helps!

Edit 2: It was taken care of with no points and half the original fine!

Location: Georgia
