Car who gunned it. Have to be aware of the what is happening on the roads.

2/12/16 4:19pm

As a witness to this, I would agree with you. The person was clueless, and

The guy turning. Just because 2 people politely stopped to let him in does not

I know 2 people who have been ticketed for this.

In some states, if you signal someone to cross, you can be liable.

2/12/16 4:46pm

So in this case, they were backed up at a light and just allowed the turner

Cougarfan777

2/12/16 4:41pm

Yes, the person turning is at fault

QuickCoug

This is correct

It isn't at an intersection, but traffic is stopped at a red light? I'm confused

StantonMac

2/12/16 4:21pm

he's not turning at a light, but the cars westbound are backed up from a light

BYUFBDAD

2/12/16 4:24pm

Cars are backed up nearly a half block at a red light. But the car turning is

So, he's either U-turning, or pulling into a business or something?

Cougarfan777

2/12/16 4:32pm

So this is happening BEFORE the westbound cars get to the intersection?

StantonMac

2/12/16 4:41pm

Yes, your whole first paragraph is correct. However, the guy turning left

Cougarfan777

2/12/16 4:48pm

Now that I think I understand completely, the guy turning left is 100% at fault.

StantonMac

2/12/16 4:54pm

As a witness I would have said the car who made the fast lane change

Cougarfan777

2/12/16 5:03pm

Yea, the person who "caused" the accident and the person legally at fault

StantonMac

2/12/16 5:14pm

Agreed. A good reminder for everyone. I think all of us have been waved through

Cougarfan777

2/12/16 5:19pm

So the cars stopped at a yellow or the car ran a red?

Dillinger

2/12/16 4:23pm

The guy turning left. Don't turn left unless it is 100% entirely safe.

2/12/16 4:46pm

if those cars had all stopped to let a pedestrian cross and the car from behind them gunned...

Failure to yield right of way. Left turner does not have right of way.

I blame global warming.

Car turning is at fault. Car proceeding straight has right of way
