I'm 26 and in Michigan. I was traveling on a four lane highway with a left turn lane going eastbound in the right lane. I put on my turn signal and switched to the left lane at the same time that a woman pulled out of a store parking lot going left. I was already partially in the lane by the time I saw her pull out, and she even rode next to me (while she was in the turning lane) for a brief second, and then the side of her car up by the headlight hit my car by the back left tire. She claimed that when she checked before pulling out, the lane was clear, and she didn't see me even though, had she been looking a split second before, I was right next to her and she didn't stop. Though no ticket was issued, the cop said it was my fault and he doesn't believe that I saw her pull out of the lot. This was an older woman (in her 60's/70's) and she basically told me the cop would believe her over me regardless. I was told I had the right of way, so how am I at fault? I have a clean record, too.
