as far as i can remember from the drivers handbook for california and from what the OP's original post described as him already being in the intersection when the light was yellow, that lady should have been cited also as you are legally allowed to complete your left turn when the light turns red on you and you are still in the intersection and the rest of the oncoming traffic has to wait for you to complete said turn before accelerating through the intersection. the lady accelerating through the intersection coming in the opposite direction of you could be 50/50 either way as to whether it was her fault or not as we dont know if there was any witnesses placing her as accelerating before she hit the line on the ground. reminds me of an accident i witnessed a few years back where some stupid bitch in an toyota tacoma pickup decided to make a left turn and plow into oncoming traffic and when i got a call to come testify against her a few months later she was trying to claim that she had a green arrow light when in fact she only had a solid green and there was a sign clearly stating that "LEFT TURN MUST YIELD ON GREEN"...i dont know about anyone else, but it always seems to be the ones that are driving toyotas that are freaking dumbass pricks on the road
