    ...Worst day ever

    Ok, so, my car was hit today (door dosent even open anymore), it was not my fault, but, heres the kicker, by technicality, I may have to pay for it.

    At my highschool, there are 2 lanes, in the morning, the right lane is the exit, the left is the entrance. Well, in the afternoon, the people who turn left to leave, are directed (by school officials) into the left lane (the "wrong" side of the road), and the people turning right to the right lane. Well, i was in the left lane, leaving school, next thing i know BAM, and my car starts spinning, well, this lady had hit me on the drivers side door (neck/back are still sore). So, as im still spinning, im thinking, ok, not my fault, im cool. Well, i get out of the car, and she comes out swinging (not literally) screaming about how I was going 60mph and caused the wreck (mind you, there was a road hump ~20 ft away, so, NO WAY i was going near that fast). I am just taken aback like "is she serious" and say "WHAT! you just ran a stop sign and hit me". Anyway, she starts to get in her car to drive off, and im like "Hold on a second, im gonna need some insurance stuff" so, get all that, long story short- her argument "he was on the wrong side of the road" my arguement- "she picks her kid up every day, she knows the drill, and she pulled out from a stop sighn and hit me" now, the kicker- I was leaving late so the traffic directors wernt there. Also, if it goes to court, my liscens gets pulled if they side with her because I am on the North Carolnia graduated drivers program which can pull your liscens easily for infractions. Also- is the school not at fault for directing kids to drive on the wrong side of the road?


    Still shaken up, probably left out alot.

    You were in the school parking lot? Was a ticket written? If you were in a parking lot and there were not tickets written noone is at fault, at least under the stupid laws of this state.

      You arn't describing it very well.

      Basically the school person told you to go into the left lane of traffic, and another car turning right to go into the right lane so you had cars in both lanes going the same direction? If that's the case it's you're fault although you said she ran a stop sign but don't give any details. Sounds like It's probably your fault and the only thing you can really do about it is go after the school in a civil court.
      And see a docter if your're still hurting tomorrow, it doesn't hurt to get checked out.

          Oh <B>*POOF*</B> man... yah mods i said <B>*POOF*</B>... Brian man this sucks, I had just seen you right before you got in your car... Completly her fault bro, You guys are instructed to use both lanes for traffic, one for turning left (the way u turn to go home), and the other lane if your turning right... Completly her fault... But I dont know legally how this will go, b/c LEGALLY theres nothing saying you can drive in that lane.... God the law blows... If you get sued for not wanting to pay, counter-sue the school for instructing you to do so... Personal injuries u can collect thousands.... So break that arm quick bro...

          MAn this sucks man... Your car gunna be ok to drive to the tourny (least of our concerns) man thank god your ok bro... I guess you watching me make out with my EX girlfreind was to much

          Sorry bro, if theres anything i can do let me know

            I think they do on their own property. That's why you can go 150mph on a race track. It is their fault for creating a dangerous situation.

                I'm guessing there's fine print somewhere in the school paperwork allowing them to be exempt from these kind of things...

                    The school cant be exempt completly, cuz if i decided to hop in a Jeep wrangler and mow down some cars, i think the school might get introuble for lack of security... (think about it)

                      I'm not going to argue a point on which I am not completely informed.
                      Are schools (usually) punished for violence that occurs on their property?

                        He is right, if the women files a police report you're basically boned as they will go with whatever they here first especially if it is an older womens word against a teenagers.

                          Firstly a wrangler is one of the worst cars for wrecking other cars. I would be much more comfortable in a full size blazer or ram charger.
                          And no the school couldn't get in trouble for it.
