A car came along on the right of me and exited west onto St. Charles too, almost cutting me off, because. But here's my question... if that car were going straight from the east side of St. Charles, around the RAB to the west side of St. Charles, it was legal, correct?

If so, you could be on the inside lane, turning left, end up t-boning someone, and you would be at fault.

This is why it is so important to not be side by side with another car. You can get cut off sometimes but that does not cause an accident. Staggering with any car that is anywhere near you is the only way to avoid a T-bone accident.
