I was driving on a mountain road in a snow storm tonight, as im coming up to a left turn I see a car coming up really fast I start the turn and the other car tried to pass me on the turn, the car lost control and did a 180 so I had two choices, either slam into the front end of this car or the guardrail, I hit the guardrail then as soon as I did the car took off and did not stop.

Now im left with a car that cant steer.

Yeah man, why would you run into a guard rail?

Law says you need to stay in your lane

unfortunately your fault dude. You should have hit him or slowed down a bunch as soon as he passed. When people drive like morons around me I give em some extra room to avoid shit just like this. There are times to be an aggressive driver and time to be defensive.

Yeah watch those mirrors boss. Being aware on the road is one of the biggest parts of driving. It can save your life, or at least thousands of dollars in damage.

When I see someone passing me at what I think is an unsafe time or speed I will brake as soon as they are next to my car to allow them back in asap and to put some distance between us.

assuming you have insurance you also now have an at fault accident. You just got screwed homie. if you wouldve hit the person its possible you would have gotten the ticket. I have a friend that hit a car that lost control spun across three lanes hitting the bridge barrier and then got hit by my buddy. his dad is a prominent attorney and he still got the ticket. bc he hit a stationary object. its bs but just fix it urself and if you see that butthole again slash all his tires.
