He side-swept my dad, knocking off his front bumper. The other car was fine.

there was actually a guy there who told my dad that he saw what happened (but doesn't want to testify) who said the other driver was going fast and did a wide turn. My dad had started making the turn when the other driver arrived.

Thanks, Argyll, for your quick response. I agree and this goes back to my original question of whether it is possible to verify whether the other driver, did in fact have a green light.

Thanks, jsherk. The exact charge is unsafe turn HTA 142 (1). You mention that I would have a hard time using the argument that there is no proof that there was an advance green. But this is what the charge is based on -- that the other guy had an advance green. Wouldn't the argument be equally inval...

Hello, hoping here someone can help. Can you get evidence for whether someone had an advanced green at an intersection? My dad was making a right turn on a red (after stopping) into a plaza parking lot. He got hit by someone making a left turn from the opposite lane. The driver told the officer call...
