🛑 the ONE traffic rule you probably didn't know existed

Everyone knows you can turn right on a red light after you stop and check for traffic. It's so common we don't even think about it. But a lot of people don't know that in most of America, you can actually turn left on a red light. The rule is that you have to be turning from a one-way street onto another one-way street. You still have to come to a complete stop first, just like with a right turn. The only exceptions are a handful of states like Connecticut, New Jersey, and a few others, and also New York City and Washington DC. A few states also let you make a left on a red light onto a one-way street from either a one-way or two-way street. The whole concept of this isn't exactly common knowledge, so be prepared for some funny looks or a few honks from other drivers. 😂 I just want to know if anyone has actually done this #TrafficLaw #RoadSafetyConcerns #Discussion #LegalAdvice #RedLight

Is it legal to tow a car that's blocking your driveway?

You've had a really long day, you're tired, and all you want to do is pull into your driveway. Then you see it. Some stranger's car is sitting right there, blocking your way. First instinct is to probably just call a tow truck right away. It is illegal to block a driveway which means you can get the cops involved and usually you won't be stuck with the tow bill. But before you get totally mad about it, maybe try being polite first. Try leaving a note explaining that they are blocking your driveway. If the polite approach does not work, then it's time to call your local law enforcement. Use their main non-emergency number or 311 if you have it. They will come out and handle contacting a tow company for you. This is usually the best way because some tow companies won't even move a car unless the police have already been involved. And whatever you do, please do not try to tow the car yourself. Local police department told me it's kind of a gray area and you could get into trouble if you damage the car without the right insurance. It is always best to let the professionals handle it. #ParkingProblems #HomeownerLife #TowTruckDrama #LegalAdvice #HelpNeeded #Cars #CommunityTalk #Neighborhoods

This 18-year-old inherited a house but their mom is stealing their money

I just saw a post from an 18-year-old who inherited their dad's house and all his possessions. My heart just sank reading it. The parents divorced a long time ago which meant the mom had no legal claim to any of the inheritance. For some reason the mom has acted like she owns everything. This kid is trying to figure out how to be an adult but their own mother is making it impossible. The mom has access to all of their money and is using it to pay off her own credit cards. The post said she has spent almost thirteen thousand dollars of the kid's inheritance just on herself. She also refuses to teach them anything about how to manage the house or pay bills. She even threatens to leave them if they try to gain any independence. This young person is absolutely terrified their mother is going to somehow take claim over their house and car. They need real professional advice on how to get out of this situation safely. This is completely unacceptable. I am hoping there are some legal experts or people who have been through this who can offer serious guidance. #Inheritance #FinancialAbuse #FamilyProblems #LegalAdvice #HelpNeeded #Adulting #RedFlags #FamilyRelationships #Family

I spent $2000 cleaning my new house because the seller left it a mess. Can I get my money back?

I am a first time homebuyer and I think I just got completely taken advantage of. The seller of my new home was 97 years old and her daughter handled the move. The contract said the house would be "broom clean" when they left. They ended up moving out a week early, which seemed great at the time. However, I opened the door, and found a disaster. The basement was floor to ceiling with old boxes and moldy junk. There was even rotten food left in the fridge. My friends and I had to spend about 30 hours cleaning and hauling everything out! It cost me about 2000 dollars just for the dumpster and professional cleaners. I reached out to the daughter to see if she would compensate me since they did not fulfill the contract. She told me she did not owe me anything because they did me a favor by leaving early! She has not replied to me since. I want to take them to small claims court but I am running into some major issues. The contract is in the name of the 97 year old not her daughter and I would feel terrible going after her. I also do not have the daughter's address since she is not replying. My realtor has also been completely useless and is not responding to me. I have no idea what to do. I'm located in Ohio. I would love any advice on who I can pursue here or how to even get the info I need to start a lawsuit. 😭😡 #FirstTimeHomebuyer #RealEstate #LegalAdvice #Scam #HelpNeeded #SmallClaims #RealtorNightmare #HomeOwnership
