As I was trying to go around her, she suddenly turned left....I cranked my truck hard left to avoid her but she hit me and tore up my right side of the truck. Even though I felt that I was not a fault, there was a witness that saw the END of the accident and the cop believed her. I got the ticket, my insurance got to pay for her car and she hired a lawyer and claimed injury...she refused medical treatment at the scene. Did I mention the she didn't have insurance or a drivers license? She got a slap on the wrist from the Denver courts.....I got my rates raised and had to repair my own truck.....

You did the right thing.....

laws are made FOR the criminal!
