I hit him and he hits the car infront of him.Am I in the right there are signs that say do not pass.
A: Generally do not pass refers to people passing on the left. If you're dash cam or intersection cam show him whipping in front of you, great! You may get a reduction in at fault. A lot depends on how the police write it up. See if there is an intersection cam--you have to do this ASAP as images get trashed after 2-5 days due to storage space they take up.If you were injured contact a member of the SC Assn for Justice--they give free consult.s
