Long story short I'm traveling southbound on a 2 way road and am in the left lane, I notice the light turning yellow about 20-30 feet from the pedestrian walkway travelling 45 mph and couldn't possibly slam on my brakes in time to stop so I continued straight. I had noticed a driver in the intersection waiting to turn left and instead of waiting until I drove by turned in front of me causing an accident. I was given a "Careless driving" ticket because the cop said I "Failed to yield" to the car in the intersection.. I know this is bullshit but is the cop right? I haven't overexaggerated anything, I wasn't speeding, when we struck the light was still yellow like I said had plenty of time to clear the intersection. Any insight is appreciated, insurance is still investigating it's been a 8 days as of today 3/21/2012 it happened. State is Florida

You can beat this in court, the turning car does not have the right of way.
The turning car must yield to through traffic.

well you have asked this at least 3 times now yes its was your fault now go away

[tonibraxton]

If yu hit towards the back of the car yup you can be cited,

[dacy17]

Your fault for not stopping. The other guy was already in the inersection so you hit him. Now stop reposting.

[boynton35]

He was already in the intersection. You're at fault. You keep posting this same question over and over. Please stop. You aren't going to get the answer you want. If you feel this strongly, try arguing it in court.

If you "know this is bullshit" why even ask?

Actually, what's bullshit is your excuses.
