Question:
I was driving closely behind a car and he slowed down to make a turn. He didnt use his turn signal so i assumed he was going to turn right. I attempted to go around him by going to the left and he apparently turned left and hit me in the back. Am I at fault for going around him?

Driving test in the UK, do they fail so many a day?
well uh i think it's kinda both of ur faults.. maybe if u didn't stay that close behind the car u would realize he was turning the other way and it's the other guy's fault for not using his turn signal..Does driving on the wrong side of the road make the crash your fault?

i think it is kind of your fault, they might say its failure to keep right...but the jerk shoulda used his signal and it woulda never happened, some idiots out there..:)Who can tell me how to get my town to repair the faded street signs?
It depends on if you were in a passing zone or in a no passing zone. He should have used his blinker. Did he get cited for failure to signal? Did you get cited with following too closely? But, in general I would say that it depends on if you were in a passing zone since he didn't signal.Does usage of cell phones cause explosion in petrol pumps?
Your Fault .guess that will teach you not to tailgate ,cant stand some one that tailgates ,you assumed wrong now your in the wrong ha ha suckerWho thinks lack of concentration on the road kills not speed?
Yes you're at fault. Don't tailgate! If someone slows down and isn't using a signal you shouldn't pass them at all! Sorry but you asked for it.

You...were at fault.unsafely maneuvering around a vehicle when you have no idea what there intentions are is pretty unsafe.Given all the turning assumptions you made - you must have been at an intersection ... "passing" in an intersection makes it your fault
Should I get banned from driving?
You are at fault. In virtually every jurisdiction, you will be held at fault if you hit someone from behind in your auto. In essence, you were not maintaining the proper distance from the car in front of you. Sorry, but that they way traffic laws are written.Also, if you passed him on the left, you made an illegal pass if there was only one lane.

You
1. You have followed too closely. Safety distance is important.
2. Your assumption doesn't indicate his intentions.
Him
1. He did not use his signal.
2. Hit you in the back.
If he really did hit you in the back, usually you have a greater chance of winning the case.

Sorry but this one sounds like your fault. Firstly you should never tailgate but secondly even if you assum that he is turning right, you should wait for him to make his turn before you try and pass him.

NEVER assume another drivers intent, whether they're using the blinker or not.
Yes you are at fault for making an illegal pass. As for the blinker, prove it wasn't on at the time.
Don't tailgate, take a defensive driving course, expect your insurance to go up.

If you thought he was going to turn right, and he turned left, this was hapenning on an intersection, correct?Can u have a hand gun in ur car but its 3 steps wit out a concealed weapon license?
If so, this was entirely your fault because you are not allowed to pass on intersections.
I'm going to say he was mostly at fault, though as you said he was slowing down so that should have been a clue that he was up to something. he definately should have done a shoulder check before he lunged into you, but then you should have given him a blast on the horn to make sure he knew you were there. I could see it going 50/50 though.
