    That kind of damage would only occur in two ways…either they sideswiped her while changing lanes (which is exactly what the video shows them doing)…or she drove into them at an angle (which is not what the video shows).

    Whether or not it was intentional, they cut her off. All she did was drive straight, in her own lane.

      I’m happy to concede that I’m wrong about this.

      When I was learning to drive my dad told me that if you have an accident, the insurer will assign fault to whomever has damage to the front of their vehicle.

      I’ve done some very brief research and determined that I’ve been completely wrong about this for the last 26 years. Thanks for that dad.

          I guess its relevant in the absence of additional information. However, if you have video, or witnesses, or accurate statements from those involved, those factors are more relevant.

        Oh, man. I probably laughed a little too hard at this. Thanks for that, my friend. I’ll take all the humor I can get these days.
