    Agreed. I had a Georgia State Patrol Capt tell me once that you may only go on a green light when the way is clear. There are a lot of examples of things we all do that might be wrong. I know of one that happened in my hometown once. A guy was waving another guy out of a driveway so he could get in. It was a 4 lane road and the guy pulled out in front of another car that T-boned him. I don't know how it ended because I left but a city cop told the man non cops can't regulate traffic with hand signals in Georgia. I asked a cop later about me blocking traffic to help a trucker back in. He said it's not cut and dry. I have looked but can't find any rule or court ruling covering this.

    That would be my guess.

    I spoke with my safety guy yesterday and he said they were probably going to classify it as not preventable and not at fault, but are waiting for a copy of the report.

    Yikes!

    Your first post was pretty spot-on given this context.

    Ever hear the saying, `if you can't be helpful, S.T.F.U.`?

    Just asking....

    I was being helpful; I let @Blackshack46 know his post was not out-of-line.

    Here is some more helpful information; pay more attention to what you are doing. Six incidents in 11 months? I'm surprised you still have a job.
     
    Blackshack46 Thanks this.

    I received a copy of the report and it appears that at least the police are ruling in my favor, having cited the other driver with failure to yield and without a license.

    Vindicated, but I still don`t feel good about it, you know?
     
    Big Don Thanks this.
