Traffic accident - who is at fault?

I think in MD he would be at fault. It's called the "boulevard law." Basically any car pulling out onto the
road is at fault, even if the guy on the main street is driving drunk in reverse thru a redlight. FWIW, I've heard
that we are one of the few states w/ this dumb law.

I was in an accident where the retarded lady that hit me was clearly 'wrong'(breaking several laws), with a million witnesses, but I was still at fault because of this BS.

This is the ruling. He's at fault. He is required to stop before leaving private property and ensure that public road is clear. This is the law in all states as far as I know.
