So earlier today I was driving back to work... I had to make a left turn, so I got in the center lane and put on my turn signal. Traffic coming the other way so I couldn't go yet. Little bit afterwards, someone coming the opposite direction also has to make a turn, so she gets in the center lane as well and puts on her signal. I'm scooched forward a bit, so she can't make her turn yet either (plus there was traffic coming, blocking her).

Just as traffic clears in the opposite direction and I move to make my turn, she decides she doesn't want to turn after all and moves back into her original lane, heading towards me.

Now we didn't come close to hitting or anything, but if we had, who would be at fault? I started to turn before she made her lane change (plus I don't think she signaled for that), so would she have been at fault?

Yeah, luckily I hit I-10 from the north side of 610 and go east. basically i work over at the 290 & bingle area, and live in deer park. pretty insane drive, but it's not bad because i'm going the opposite direction of the mega traffic.

im inside 610, anytime i need to go out west on i10 i just roll on memorial as far as i can then pop onto anything else.

so far i havnt had to go out too far that way, so memorial does the trick.

Memorial is fantastic as soon as you get to where it's four lanes with a center divider. Once they fix I-10 the sheer volume of traffic on Westpark should die down. I've actually found it's easier to take Westpark to 59 north to my downtown or near downtown destinations rather than braving 10.
