The only way the two cars would collide is if one or both veered into the other lane during the turn. Completing a 90 degree turn without using any of the other lane is a skill few drivers have. So IMO the at-fault driver would be the one who veered into the other lane. The exception would be a semi-tractor pulling a long or wide load; the other driver is supposed to give way in that case. Few do--MFFY again and more's the pity. |
