I had a 71 Mustang in the early 70s. I was in the outside lane of a 4-lane divided road (not a highway) going into a sharp right turn. It was near downtown and the speed limit was 25. The guy ahead of me about three car lengths was in the left lane. Wet road conditions after heavy rain. The guy in the left lane slid into the divider and bounced back across both lanes. I couldn't stop and hit him in the left-rear corner. The cop gave me a ticket for following too close and said the accident was my fault. I told the cop the other driver was traveling backwards in my lane at the time I hit him. Didn't matter to him--I hit the other guy in the rear.
Oh, to have a dashcam back then. It probably didn't help I was 22 and looked like 10-year-old with a mustache.
