Legal Question
I was driving on backroads and the road came into another road there was no stop sign and i was turning left and ive learned on intersections that you have to yield but if there is no car or the car if a safe distance away u can keep rollin through if not you stop. I saw there was no cars coming from the left and the car from the right is far enough to away to wher i could go and catch up to 25mph before the car would be close to me so i did it. I used my blinker yielded and went on through. the cop pulled me over and said that the car i pulled onto the road to had to slam on its brakes(this is the car behind me i pulled out infront of) but i was going the speed limit and the car was still a good 15 yards behind me. anyways the cop said the car had to slam on its brakes which is didnt. If i get a written statement from the car i pulled infront of because i know who it was. that says he didnt have to even yield to me will i get out of this ticket i got it21801(a) for unsafe left turn.
