Whose fault does this fall under and why?

I live in a small neighborhood out in the country that's pretty heavily wooded. What do lots of trees and curvy roads bring? Blind drives. My driveway is in a curve where I can't see people coming from the left for more than about 20 yards. This morning I was pulling out of my drive and as usual I look both ways and pull out. As my car gets half way out I look left and a truck flew around the corner and had to slam on their brakes because I was already out in the road. I Tried to be courteous and wave in the rear view mirror but she did not respond back. Now this is a residential area with kids, bike riders, and walkers present so the speed limit is 25. I was pretty freaked after this had occurred so I was going 45 mph up the road to try and get away from the other vehicle and she rode my ass the whole mile to get to the main road. When I approached the stop sign to the main road a long line of traffic was heading my way so of course I couldn't turn out. After a couple seconds I look in my rear view and see her truck door open and then she comes up to my car and starts yelling at me. Now I had my doors locked and my windows rolled up but she was saying something about how this was the second time I've done that (I've actually never done that before) and that she's going to call the police if this happens again and tapped on my window kind of hard and some other road rage stuff. So say something like this happened again or she decided to call the police? Would she be at fault for the fact that it's a residential area and you have to be prepared to stop at anytime? I mean what can I really do if I can't see pulling out I can only look both ways so many times before I go. Wouldn't the police look at the incident today as her just having road rage?

Answer
The cops would say two things. One, you have to yield right of way to absolutely everyone when pulling out from a driveway. Even if the other vehicle is speeding like hell, they have right of way and you don't. That's the cold hard law, and there are no exceptions.

The second thing the cops would say is they'd tell this woman to calm the f**k down. Getting out of your vehicle to yell at another driver isn't safe, in fact it's downright dangerous. And it's against the law. Not only is it against the law to stop in traffic and get out of the vehicle, it's against the law to yell at and intimidate people.

You made a common driving error, but she damn near committed a crime.

Is an old bike left behind a dumpster fair game?

I found a old rusted bike behind a dumpster next to a back door of my school. The bike was laying on its side and looked like it had been there a while, it had dirt splattered on it from rain a few hours earlier. It also had a broken flashlight hanging from the handle. What do you think, fair to take?
I ended up borrowing it and bringing it back. Thank you common sense.

Answer
The other day my sister and I went to a local hotel to see if we could get a swimming pool membership. As we were leaving, we saw a guy put an upholstered chair that was next to a huge dumpster in his truck and drive off. He was not rushing or looking over his shoulder.

My sister and I walked past the other chairs that were out there and saw that they were really decent chairs. So, she went inside and asked about the chairs. The employee stated that ten people already asked about those dozen chairs they were airing out next to that dumpster. Ummm, my sister had to tell him there were only four chairs out there!!!

So, just because if was behind a dumpster does not mean it was abandoned. Some kid could have hid it there because he could not afford a lock. Please don't take it unless it remains there for a day or two more. Please.
