My question involves a traffic collision from Dallas Texas:
I was driving on a road with 2 lanes on each side and a middle turn lane. Traffic was stopped for about 1/4 mile of where I needed to turn left. Business on both sides of the road. I decided to use the middle lane to drive past the traffic and to the intersection. I was going about 40 miles an hour for about 300 feet and then hit someone pulling out from a business to turn left. I was cited for using the middle lane as a passing lane. The police report said that I was using the middle lane as a passing lane and hit the person turning. Am I going to be held liable. I heard that the turning person could be liable for not yielding.
