OK, so I have a friend who is worried that the police will come and haul him off to jail. I told him not to worry about it, but I would like opinions.
My friend was driving (in a rental minivan) in a city. He suddenly saw the (left) turn he had to make coming up, so he checked his mirrors, and turned on his blinker. As he started moving over, he heard a car horn, and suddenly saw a small car (that had been in his blind spot) swerve onto the sidewalk, then back into the lane. My fried made the turn, and the car pulled in behind him. The car then almost immediately pulled off to the side of the road.
My friend went through the next intersection, then pulled the van over (only 100 feet from where the car had stopped). He checked the van, and there was no damage to it (no collision occurred.) Also, the car had not actually hit anything when it swerved. My friend saw the the driver of the car was not there (he had gone inside. He waited for a few minutes, then left.
So, should he worry?
