Q: Wrong way down a one way. My mistake. Tesla driver very angry. What trouble can I be in?
It was in a new construction zone. The last time I drove through I didnt have a problem. The road narrowed and curved. I was stuck going the wrong way. I slowed down and let one car pass. Then the next car stopped as I waived him by. He started honking and yelling out his window. The driver "revved" his car towards me aggressively. I was stopped on the curb waving him by. He then drove swirving towards me as he passed wiping his hand on my window. I did reply with a middle finger but only after all the wierd actions he took for my honest mistake. It was a Tesla so it should have recorded it all. Can he bring the videos to the police and try to report me? If so what should I do until then?
I have a clean driving record. We were just driving to get groceries down the one road that goes strait to the store.
Sorry Im really stressed. I have a long commute and need to drive at my job too.
A: You could be charged with driving the wrong down a wrong way street. Perhaps careless driving as well.
A: The question seems to indicate no charges, at least so far. The description sounds like a potential driving the wrong way petty misdemeanor violation, or a careless driving (in disregard of the safety of others) misdemeanor charge. If charged, that would be a good time to retain a defense lawyer. Though the risk of jail is low, most would want to keep their record as clean as possible.
