Correct.
NO. Car A turned the front of his car left into the lane of Car B. The rear of Car A was still in it’s lane on the right. Car B clipped the front of Car A. Car B (in left lane) was slightly behind Car A (right lane car).
All this conflict would have been avoided if someone had not brought a 14 year old thread back from the dead.

I can understand the wording of this getting confusing, as someone that has a hard time comprehending what I read (why school ■■■■■■ for me), a picture (or video) would make it easier to understand…
Remember, we all do not think the same way…
■■■■■■ = what you do with a straw in order to drink from a glass without putting your lips on the container… lol

So would it have made you happy/feel better if @LoudThunder would have started a whole new thread about this topic instead of bringing this one back to life??

They just need a sticker that says “Caution: wide right turns”.
I still say A’s left rear quarter hit B’s front right quarter in the process of veering left to turn right. B clipping A just sounds physically impossible, given this incident.
skcus from a straw. Got it !
I can’t believe the Supreme Soviet would censor that of all words.
Gee, another word that can’t be used. What’s our blood transport guy gonna call his Lexus then?

Plain and simple - You’re WRONG.
Then please kindly explain how a car that’s going straight, minding their business, can hit someone who veered left into their lane before turning right.
If you and I are walking roughly side by side through a crowded supermarket, you’re on the left and I’m to your right, if I veer left, you won’t bump into me, I’ll bump into you.
Well, if that is so then why did you reply in this thread. Duhhhh. LOL!

I can see why that word depending on use might be redacted, but not ■■■■ (t.e.s.t), that one blew my simple little mind…
On one hand, to me that shows car A (blue) clipping the front of car B (orange(?), not car B clipping car A…
But this says car B clipped car A
"Car A turned the front of his car left into the lane of Car B. The rear of Car A was still in it’s lane on the right. Car B clipped the front of Car A. Car B (in left lane) was slightly behind Car A (right lane car)."
If car B would have hit car A it would have hit the rear of the front fender or hit the door, not clipped the front of it… But car A did move over and clip the front of car B…
But on the other hand, if I look at it another way I can kinda see that since car A moved over in front of car B it forced car B to hit car A…
That is why this can be confusing…
Just like if we are walking side by side and I move over toward you and hit you in the arm with my fist, then I hit you, your arm didn’t reach out and hit my fist…
But then you could have just pushed me back away from you also… lol
I think it is all about your personal perception, I guess I have an open enough mind that I can see it and understand it both ways…

The word ‘■■■■’ got censored?
If you mean t.est, the yes…

The straight car is going faster than the turning car that is slowing down to execute the wide turn. Therefore the car going straight runs into the driver’s side fender of the turning car…

Exactly. If a car turns in front of you with no time to react - very good chance you’re going to hit it. What’s so hard to comprehend.
You may find that, in legal assignment of blame, where the impact occurs, matters. Here, the blue car is at fault no matter what (IMHO). It deviated from its lane and the forward part of the orange car was impacted. Likewise, even if the blue car had a signal on and was intending to move into the other lane, it struck the orange car in the front, indicating it did not yield to a car already established in its lane.
Conversely, if the impact occurred near the rear of the blue car, it may be deemed that the orange car is at fault for not yielding.
The collision, as described originally, would mean the blue car was travelling slower than the orange car as it attempted to negotiate a turn. So the orange car ran into the blue one. The blue one is still at fault…
