I recently was involved in a traffic accident in which no citation was issued. However, on the police report, my "Driver Contributing Code" was listed as "Failure to keep in proper lane".
Technically, the street I was traveling on was separated by a dashed white line into two lanes, but pictures of the street show that the line is so faded that it is unable to be seen from a vehicle. The street is narrow, and if you look at all the traffic turning onto the street, you will notice that all vehicles straddle the two lanes.
My question is this: If the lanes are not delineated by white lines, or the lines are too faded to be seen, am I responsible for failing to keep in the proper lane?
