Lawrence police ticketed an 18-year-old Lawrence woman Wednesday afternoon for failing to yield to another driver in a rollover accident near 22nd Street and Kasold Drive. No one was injured, but Sgt. Matt Sarna, a police spokesman, said officers cited Alice Barnes because she failed to yield her 2001 Acura while headed south on Quail Creek Drive.
Her vehicle collided with a car driven by Jing Ye, 46, of Lawrence, who was headed west on 22nd Street.

I was not texting, and I don't text while I'm driving because I am well aware of the consequences. I can see why you would think I was texting because teenage girls often get into car accidents because they were texting and driving. I admit I did not not yield, and I know I should have, but I can assure you that I was not texting. Also, it is called the "right of way" not "right away'.

It's better to get a ticket than to get a casket.
And, what a yield sign means is that if you wreck here it's your fault, and so you or your insurance company will have to pay for all the damage.
