Right Of Way With U-turns
Hypothetical question that I thought Id run by the hive mind. I was out driving the other day when I saw a close call between two cars. Got me thinking about the scenario and whod be at fault, etc. I've attached a diagram.
Green car has a green light and is waiting to make a u-turn at an intersection where it's permitted. Orange car had a red light and is waiting to make a right turn at the intersection. Once traffic clears, both cars proceed to make their turns simultaneously. Due to the sharp turning radius, green car is unable to turn into the closest lane and instead goes into the far lane where orange car is turning.
Part of me thinks both cars are at fault, since any turning movement requires you to make sure the movement can be made in safety. Thoughts?
