My son get hit by a taxi from behind. He was approaching two line highway where speed limit is 40 mph. He already made his safe turn after checking traffic from left and went almost 30 ft after stop sign. Taxi was in left lane of the highway and hit him from back. Taxi front left was damage, both airbags both inflated. My son's 199 pontiac montana minivan rear left tail light damage, and tail gate damage. Rear bumper was thrown from left to right side of the road.
Cop gave him ticket instead of taxi, that he did not stop at stop sign and failed to stop and yeild to incoming traffic.
I can't understand, why did he get ticket, when he already passed the stop sign, after checking traffic properly, no one on his right lane from far left. Taxi was coming from far in left lane. My son turned in right lane. When taxi did unsafe lane change at last moment, by not paying attention on raod and no tire markes on the road which says he did not apply brake at all.
