It's a pretty bad law. Basically the car going straight through the intersection has the ability to run the red light and cause an accident without any fault
That's not what he said. He said that when a vehicle going straight enters after the light has turned red, they yield the right of way and the turning vehicle is NOT at fault. Listen to what he says at @2:04
You: I was in the turning lane and as I was turning I noticed there was a car coming from the other direction with no lights on and the car behind it came zooming out and I hit them who is at fault
Finally someone with common sense. Turning left on a yellow is a privilege in my opinion. You people think oncoming traffic should stop just because you chose to not stay behind the line on a left. It's even worse when TWO cars think they can follow each other past a yellow left turn.
interesting. It's a little different here though. Even on a red, left turning vehicles by law is still at fault because it wasn't safe for the vehicle to proceed and RoW priorities 1st straight, right 2nd, and 3rd and last priority for left. In the event if an accident and if it can be proven with say dashcam video, the straight vehicle will he cited with failure to obey a traffic signal but fault still lies with the left turner.
Here's my situation. I'm making a left turn on a Green arrow. Oncoming traffic is at red three Lanes two cars at a stop. I'm blocking two lanes into my turn. Light turns green and the third lane car collided with me. Who's at fault?
So you’re waiting to turn left in the middle of the intersection while you have a green light and your light turns red cause you’re waiting as long as the other driver going straight is not in the intersection then they are at fault since the light is red and they ran a red light hitting you while turning left
In my situation I was turning left and there was a turning lane that was beginning a few feet infront of where I was turning and the woman came along my left side over the double yellow lines to get into it passing me basically on the wrong side of the road. Who is at fault?
