yeah, right after the accident i busted out the dmv book and it does say that your have to yield to oncoming traffic
I remember this from traffic school. (you need to confirm what I say)
When you pass a car you cannot pass on the right side in a single lane(2 lane, 1 lane per direction) (the lanuage maybe different but this is what I remember). eg. If the car in front of me is trying to make a left in a single lane, I usually wait behind this car instead of going around him on the right side because that's not legal.
Back to your situation. This person that hit you was driving on the right side passing cars (which is illegal: two cars in one lane, and this person is passing car on the right side). If you can get this person to say that there was traffic and this person is 'passing' all these cars on the right side of a single lane to make a right... this person can be in some sort of trouble too. You maybe at fault still, but at least you make her pay a fine for her stupid mistake.

btw, i was talking to a customer today and we were talking about how bad traffic is on the street and how hard it is to turn left into the parking lot...
he told me he had just gotten hit the exactly the same way, just a few weeks ago!! he was also pissed because the police report stated that he was at fault also.

no, there isnt any bike lanes or solid white line by the curb. one thing i must add... at the intersection, the right lane doesnt split in two to allow a right hand turn lane. so there isnt any excuse to pass cars on the right.

you have a good point.
