A: If the other car was making a left, unless it's a left turn arrow they have to yield. If you were hurt contact a member of the Ga.Trial Lawyers Assn in your county and get their advice--they give free consults. Renew your registration and insurance--you'll look better if you are at least at that point being in compliance with the law.
