No, it wasn't my fault. I didn't turn across any lane at all. I was in a bike lane on the right side of the road turning right, he was directly behind me, failing to give the road vehicle in front of him (me) a safe distance, because he wasn't paying attention. If you rear-end someone it's your fault, period.
