I was making a u-turn with an advanced green into 3 lanes going the opposite way. I ended up in the middle lane where I thought I cleared the turn when I got hit in the passenger side door by some one who made a right turn at the red across from me. He says he had the right of way to make the right. He also said I swerved into his turning lane, but I think he made a wide right into me. Who is at fault?

Re: U-turn at advanced green collision
From an insurance perspective, you are 100% at fault because you were making a U-turn. (Section 19(b) of the Ontario Fault Determination Rules.) It sucks, but the Fault Determination Rules say that anyone making a U-turn is 100% at fault. The insurance adjuster might have a different opinion though.
From an HTA perspective, he broke the law more than you did: He made a right turn on red without checking to see it was safe, and he turned right into the middle lane - both of which are illegal. He only had right-of-way into the right-most lane. You did have the advanced green; if you made the U-turn as tightly as you could, that may help. Really it's hard to say how an officer would lay charges in that case...

Sorry if i may be posting in the wrong thread my questions are as follows;

2. if a person was charged with an offense given…
O.P.P officers avoid instant penalties!
This a Bleeping Joke and is a smack in the face to anyone whos been charged with HTA 172!
One wonders what loophole was used to avoid the siezure and suspensions that every other "Damn Street Racer"gets when charged under HTA 172! ![]()
Just one more nail in the coffin for the Commissioner in my opinion!
