Re: My Scirocco is essentially trashed.

What was the speed limit where you were? Any skidmarks? Maybe you can fight 
it in court - as long as you weren't speeding, there should be ample proof 
that it was the other drivers fault - clearly you wouldn't run your car into 
him if he was already in the lane (unless say you were drinking or something 
like that). With some reasoning a court should understand your 
circumstances. The right of way is still in the moving lane the last time I 
checked.

Try it in court if you have the option and see what happens - it can't get 
worse right.

Best of luck,
Tobias

I was driving back to work after lunchbreak and was driving along at
55kph. A minivan pulls out of the left lane into my lane about 30 ft
in front of me, from a stop, so hes going maybe 5 kph. I hit the
brakes and probably would have made it but... Another truck right
behind the minivan goes too. I hit him right in front of his right rear
tire. His damage 100-200 dollar. My drivers side front end is
obliterated. And know what. I GOT A DRIVING WITH UNDUE
CARE TICKET. He got JACK ALL.. The guy in the truck lied to the
cop and said he'd been there for about a minute and I just plowed
into him. I'm only 20 years old and he was 56. THe cop mostly
believed him. So now I have no car, and one hell of a bad ticket. I
may be able ot get it down to a 3 demerit following too close, BUT I
WASN;T,

What a horrible fucking day...
