OP, glad you're ok, and you seem to have a pretty good attitude compared to a lot of people around here who are older than you. Also, shame on you for no pics of said cheerleader. |

It is a very common crash scenario, and I cannot prevent thinking that a more experienced driver could have averted it with a combination of better reflexes and covering the brake even before the girl did the mistake, because it is just so probable that she'll do it. Next time, be ready, it might still not save it, but airbags will not always save you, so better take all chances on your side. You are the one responsible of your safety, often, that means that you have to provision for the stupidity of others. |

Over the years, and particularly as an avid motorcyclist, I drive very defensively, always searching for potential hazards / morons. At intersections where I have the green light, I shadow the brake and and clear the intersection as I approach it - too many close calls not to do that. Back to the OP: The Police Officer can't lay blame your way unless he has proof that you were exceeding the posted limit. The fact of the matter is that the driver of the other vehicle was at fault and that needs to be addressed. |

Hey guys one more question:
Will the insurance company most likely look at my EDR (event data recorder aka black box)? For speed and such? Because most likely I was going above the speed limit but I don't know by how much.

Maybe, but reconstructing the accident they will know your speed. If you were reasonably within the limit and the chick failed to yield you have nothing to worry about.

Incorrect and badly so. If the chick is hot she may get away with it. She already has the police officer saying it was both of their faults.

That officer is wrong, and lonely. And OP's insurance company will not let the chick get away with it no matter how hot she is because it is there money at the end of the day and they do not want to pay out. If the chick clearly failed to yield to another driver that was following the law why should he be at fault? That's like saying someone making a withdrawal when a bank is robbed should also be arrested.

Possibly. De gustibus non est disputandum as the Romans might have said, however, I'm not working from my standards, I'm working from the standards of the OP.

If you didn't it seems sketchy that they use a device to track your every move and you have no recourse against it. Now, I'm not a layer, so... On another note, you may also consider a Miata, its a fun car that handles well and I'm pretty sure chicks dig it If you are in sun country, even better! |

Also, I'm engaging in a bit of badinage, and don't actually mean anything I am saying.

Only reason I know this is because back when first turned 18, i was making a left hand turn and a women flew out of parking lot, and into the intersection and proceeded to t-bone me. I fought till was blue in the face regarding the situation and it was shot down. |

While I believe that the OP is in the right because the person going straight should have the right-of-way, stuff like the above annoys me.
