UPDATE:

So I finally got a call from ICBC regarding the accident. Long story short: The older lady tried to claim to ICBC that the younger lady was driving while talking on her cell phone and therefore she was at fault. ICBC believed my version of the events and that the older lady simply pulled out into the path of the young lady without even looking and in an aggressive manner.

They assigned the old lady 100% of the blame (I mentioned the young lady tried to avoid the accident but simply ran out of room to swerve around).

Good job! :thumbsup:

As a side note, I fucking hate liars. :flamemad:

question: if you turn right at an intersection into the close lane and the guy switches lanes in the intersection whos at fault??

As far as I know:
If you turned right into the closest lane, and your light was red, you are at fault.
A driver with a green should get right of way. It's not illegal to change lanes in an intersection, but a defensive driver wouldn't do it.
Either way, a right turn on a red does not mean you have right of way, you still have to watch out.
Same deal if you turned right on a red to the closest lane, but someone hit you going the opposite direction but had a green left arrow, it would be your fault, since you're still turning on a red.

About a year ago I witnessed some dude smoke a telephone pole. Tore it right off its base only the civic he was drivin was holding it up and sparks were raining everywhere. I pulled a quick u turn to aide and was shocked how many people just slowed down to gawk and no one else stopped to help.
Some nurse that was parked in the next parking lot came over to hand me a blanket for the dude. He was wrapped up around his steering wheel in a mess and in shock.
I always offer witness or assistance no matter the situation cus I'd expect someone to do it for me if I was in a tough spot.
This dude I helped may have never helped anyone before but I'm confident he would if needed now.

during a left turn you are allowed. Trucks sometimes can't turn sharp enough to go to the close lane.

I believe if you're driving straight though, you are unable to switch lanes in an intersection
