• OT: Indiana road regulations

    From Thomas E.@21:1/5 to All on Mon Jan 9 12:19:56 2023
    So years ago Baker and I had quite the discussion about a fender-bender accident I was involved in. It was at a 4 lane (2 lanes each way) roundabout. We were in our left lane, going straight on and a driver in the right lane making a left turn ran into
    us. Baker insisted that we should have been in the right lane. His justification was "stay right except for passing". That is in fact an Indiana road rule, as it is in most states. In fact, it's mentioned in the Indiana Driver's manual. Here is the quote,
    page 37:

    "On the highway, slower vehicles should use the right lane."

    116th Street in the Carmel Indiana city limits is a street, not a highway.

    In any event, on 4-lane city streets it is mandatory that you turn left out of the left lane. In the left lane, roundabout or not you, can go straight or turn left, but not right. That other driver violated the rules by trying to turn left out of the
    right lane. This was mentioned in the police accident report, and the other driver's insurance paid for our repairs, no questions asked.

    This is how Baker lies. He leaves out any details that contradict his narrative.
