Who fault is it if you are driving up the road and another car pulls out in front of you but now says you might have been speeding?

Typically, if you hit someone from the rear, you are judged as 'At Fault' because it is assumed you will have enough 'safe driving distance' and speed limit to stop for any interference. If you hit the car on a side panel, showing you were closer when the person pulled out, they may be judged as 'at fault'. If you hit the front of their car, the person pulling out was more likely at fault (depending on your speed and distance).
HOWEVER, all that said, the best protection after an accident is to call the police, let them make their report, and take pictures before the cars are moved.

If someone is driving your car and they hit a pedestrian who is at fault?
I believe it could be both persons fault. If you're driving and someone decides to jump in front of your car it's not you fault. If you're driving and aren't being careful or just can't stop in time, than it's your fault. -Bobbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb

No, it is not your fault. If you are hit when driving in front of somebody, it is their fault, irregardless of whether you slowed down or not. Obviously you can't jump in front of somebody and slam on the brakes, but just slowing down does not permit somebody to ram you.

If you were proceeding to turn left when a speeding car coming toward you braked and hit the curb are you responsible for her damage and injuries?
If she was speeding, it is her problem. If she did not hit your car, it is still her problem. She is at fault in this case and she cannot blame you for having to take extreme evasive turns to avoid you because of her speeding. If you were turning left in front of on-coming traffic, and created a hazard, you are both partially responsible.

It is the car behind you, that person is at fault.Another point of view.It depends who is at fault. And all 3 of the people involved's insurance companies will be investigating this. - The person behind may not have been concentrating.- The person in the middle may have accidently stalled.- The person in front may have accidently stalled or driving too slow in proportion with the rest of the traffic.
Does a warning for speeding affect your insurance?
Probably not, depending on how much you were speeding by. However if you are setting up your insurance let them know about it up front because those mongrels have people that do nothing but dig up excuses for not paying you out if you have an accident. and not being upfront with your driving record can lead to problems with some insurance mobs. Warnings are not recorded on your driving record and the insurance company cannot see them.
