Rule #1
When making a U-turn you have to yield the right of way to every single other car on the road.
Therefore he had to pull directly in front of the minivan in order for the minivan to hit him. (otherwise it would have hit him head on in his lane!) Therefore it is solely his fault for the accident.
Not only that, but any court of law will use & see the ticket (and rule #1) as a sign of his negligence in this incident. Which of course is true since he did not follow rule #1...
Also you will note he was hit on the front side. Not the middle or rear of the vehicle. This indicates the minivan had no real time to react and that he had just pulled into the oncoming lane.
The other possiblilty is he pulled directly in front of the minivan and it swerved to miss him and still clipped the front of his car.
Either way you look at this he had to pull right in front of the oncoming traffic! He's actually extremely lucky no one was hurt!
Any questions...[/b]In this world of infinitely wacky things happening, you seem to be saying there is NO POSSIBLE WAY of Dan gettings hit in that section of his car without it being his fault. Seems like a pretty broad statement to make, don't ya think? Just off the top of my head I can think of two ways this could happen. Yes they are remote but that does not negate the possibility of them...
Just running my own race in these super special olympics...
