I don't quite get your statement on what happened:
Here's a few questions I have in mind:
When you said an old lady is in the opposite lane, does that mean the opposite side of the road (as in opposite direction), or the lane next to you? Also from the way that you said it, it seemed that the elderly woman was trying to go straight ahead (south for example) while you are trying to make a north-west turn?
Also, was there a streetlight for turning in your situation. If there was no right of way, (Left arrow sign), then you were at fault (LAWFULLY), because you are supposed to let any automobiles in the opposite direction go first, then you are allowed to go when it is cleared.
By other terms, LAWFULLY and RIGHT(as in term CORRECT) are two different things in the world of driving. You could do something that was lawfully wrong but 'right' for the situation. Take for example cutting off a few people and going over the speed limit to rush someone to the hospital.
Then again, it could be the fuzz. They seem to have nothing else better to do here in CA, since people have started correct their errors of driving more often, I'm sure the cops have lost some cash (no offense) from the loss of tickets and so. They have to pay all the traffic control, ya know :D.
