How do you turn left if you're riding in the bike lane?

Who's fault? Right turn in left lane at intersection?

  • It was a small street with no bike lane and I was driving behind this woman. I wanted to turn right so drove near the right side of the street. She stopped at the intersection on the left side of the lane. I saw that there was more than enough room on her right side so I pulled up next to her. I, assuming she was going forward, checked for traffic so I could turn right. When it was clear, I began turning right and she did as well. I was looking toward my right side as I was turning so I didn't notice her turning until the right side of her car scraped against the left side of my front bumper. Her car was fine while my left light's cover shattered and was hanging by the cord. The bumper is pushed forward on the left side as well. Who's fault is it?

  • Answer:

    Your fault. Even Cali doesn't allow passing on the right.

Legally, you. If it could be proven that she did what you claimed, it MIGHT be split between both of you, but you'd still have the greater percentage of fault.

Was the area you were in a marked traffic lane or did you try to make a right turn from the berm? I think you simply made your own lane and are at fault here. Man up and accept the blame.

One lane one car! If you passed on the right, even if there was room, it's your fault.

Its your fault........you never assume, you always expect the unexpected.

Unless there are two marked lanes, you're in deep doo doo.
