Who is at fault when a left-turning vehicle is hit by a straight-moving vehicle?
1 Answers
A left-turning vehicle is generally at fault when hit by a straight-moving vehicle, except in the following special cases: 1. If the left-turning vehicle is already in the process of turning and the straight-moving vehicle fails to notice and collides with it, the straight-moving vehicle is responsible; 2. If there is a yield sign at the intersection ahead of the straight-moving vehicle and the straight-moving vehicle fails to yield, resulting in a collision with the left-turning vehicle, the straight-moving vehicle is fully at fault; 3. If the straight-moving vehicle runs a red light and collides with a left-turning vehicle that is proceeding normally according to the traffic signal, the straight-moving vehicle is fully at fault. When motor vehicles pass through intersections controlled by traffic signals, they must adhere to the following rules: 1. At intersections with designated lanes, enter the appropriate lane based on the intended direction of travel; 2. Yield to vehicles already inside the intersection when preparing to enter a roundabout; 3. When turning left, activate the turn signal and turn close to the left side of the intersection center point; 4. When turning right and encountering a vehicle in the same lane waiting for a signal, stop and wait in sequence; 5. At intersections without directional signal lights, turning motor vehicles must yield to straight-moving vehicles and pedestrians, and right-turning vehicles from the opposite direction must yield to left-turning vehicles.
