Answer 1

You are at fault.

The double yellow line does not mean they cannot turn. It simply means that both sides of the road are forbidden to pass.

Answer 2

its your fault for failing to stop and whatnot

he has the right to turn over the line, the lines just there so ppl are driving erraticly through traffic lanes

nice drawing btw

Answer 3

Failing to stop short of the vehicle in front means you were following too closely, therefore you are at fault.

Answer 4

You are at fault,100% sorry.

Answer 5

It would have been safer for the blue car to have turned left at the traffic light and then turned right into the parking lot.

If the blue car had been struck by an oncoming car traveling left (approaching the interesection) after the blue car crossed the yellow line, that would have been the blue car's fault.

However, neither of those things is relevant.

1. If the blue car signalled for the left turn at the proper location and had working brake lights and turn signals, then it is your fault.

2. If the reason that you did not slop in time was because you did not know that it was going to slow, stop, or turn, and this was either because it did not signal or because its signals or brake lights were not working, then it is the blue car's fault.

Answer 6

It doesn't matter what he was doing. He's allowed to make left turns. If you rear ended him then you're at fault for not having your car under control.

Answer 7

no, just be carefull and nothing will happen....

Answer 8

you(the green car) are at fault.

Answer 9

Answer 10

Sorry but you are the one at fault !!!!!

Answer 11

its your fault for hittinghim from behind

Answer 12

Sad to say but it appears you are. It isn't against the law to turn left across a double yellow line.
