i was in an accident several years ago.
I was at a stop sign going to cross a quiet neighborhood street.
car was approaching was a good block away ( no stop sign thier way)
I pull out and cross the street - she hits me - she was WAY over 35 MPH.
I got the ticket - as i had the stop sign regardless of how fast she was going.
I had the insurance agent with me and we looked for the skid marks to "PROVE" she was speeding and have the insurance companies "Settle" on some partial responsability - but there were to many marks there to show which were from this incident.
I would suspect - had the accident occured - you would have been at fault as you pulled out when it was not safe. ( But in Civil court - you could have probably won - "Big Mean SUV guy speeds over little car guy")
Depends on the state rules and / or No fault insurance items.
just my $0.03 ( 2 cents adjusted for inflation)
