Merry Christmas! :D

#1 Evidently you can't read. I was signaling. What the trooper found was post impact damage. #2 Since you can't answer a simple question, don't state your opinion.

My insurance company tells me that it is illegal to pass a turning vehicle in MO even if they are turning right and it doesn't matter whether or not a signal was on. One question you ignored, rmet4nzkx, was if the signal is struck in the accident and isn't working afterward, what then? Anyone...

What is the name of your state? Missouri I was making a left turn into my driveway when another vehicle attempted to pass on my left and hit me in the left side. It was a legal passing zone approaching a bridge. They are claiming that I wasn't signaling, which I was, but after the accident...
