Yesterday I was issued a ticket for failure to yield, which resulted in an accident. I was pulling out my drive way on a cul de sac north/south street where the cul de sac is on south side. Our house is on the east side and hence I backing out to the east lane of the street and wanted to go north to go to work (so front of my car was facing the north side after I had entered the lane). I was hit by a car driving on the north south direction. I was found guilty for failure to yield. But I was in my own lane (had not gone to the other lane). Although there are no markings on the street. I understand if I had hit someone in the lane I had backed up to that it would be my fault but this was not the case. Also the guy apologized to me saying he was going delivery for "meals on wheels" or something and was checking for the address and not paying attention. In fact I was not even moving when he hit me and I has started steering my wheel after I had changed from reverse to first gear (I drive manual) so I am baffled that this is my fault. My husband thinks the officer was not correct to find me at fault. What do you all think? Should I contest this?
