Car Accident Thread - Who's at fault?

[Tzatziki_Man]

Post a scenario after answering the above scenario to yours. I've seen these done on FaceBook and they're quite interesting.

I'll start,

Driver A - Waiting to turn into main road.
Driver B - In Keep Clear Zone blocking Driver A turning into main road.
Driver C- Opposite side of traffic, turning into that keep clear zone to enter street Driver A is in.


Driver B misguided the flow of traffic and ends up in keep clear zone.

Driver A immediately makes eye contact, distracts, verbally harresses and beeps at Driver B. Using the horn for not its rightful purpose.

Driver C takes a risk without traffic fully stopped and turns into side street, however not from the Keep clear zone (it's blocked by driver b), from the standard road like.

Driver B under the stress from Driver A attempts to reverse out of the keep clear zone, in the process the back of Driver B's car hits the side of Driver C as C is making the turn.

The back of driver B is damaged by the side of Driver C, Driver C's entire side door is stuffed and Driver A has no issues, leaves the scene without a problem.

Who's at fault? Post yours below!

This is just too much for a little kid, 96km/h is too fast for an 8 year old

Not it's rightful purpose? A horn is a warning device...Driver A was warning Driver B that they wanted to punch their lights out obviously

holy *

while that is pretty sad, the overwhelming reaction upon reading that story is 'LOL'

who on Earth thinks that it's a good idea to let an 8 year old drive a car that fast? While we are at it, what adult in their right mind thinks motorsports is a worthwhile pursuit?

I have no idea. At 8 years old no kid would have the reflexes needed if something went wrong, which brain surgeon(s) comes up with these 'rules'?

Driver A - Waiting to turn into main road.
Driver B - In Keep Clear Zone blocking Driver A turning into main road.
Driver C- Opposite side of traffic, turning into that keep clear zone to enter street Driver A is in.

I'm going with Driver B 100%, despite them trying to do the 'right thing'. Firstly they are stopped in a clearway. Then they reverse on the road without regard for what is behind.

Scenario:
Driver D - waiting at red light to turn right on Green. (very short cycle of green arrow).
Driver E - 2nd in line
Driver F - 3rd in line
Driver G - Approaching intersection from opposite direction, with a slip lane to turn left (ending up on same street as those turning right on arrow, but must give way under zipper merge rules).

D missed the first green arrow due to traffic, then the second green arrow due to stalling. E honks their horn incessantly. F waits, whilst G is yet to arrive.

Next phase, arrow goes Green and D hesitates as G now approaches intersection in middle lane (straight). E honks, and D goes to take off, only to stall again. Driver F, seeing E move forward, and approaching G accelerates quickly to beat G to the intersection. Driver E, seeing D stall slams on the brakes and is hit from behind.

D, after stalling proceeds through intersection, but then gives way to G, oblivious to damage behind.
E, reacting to D's stall slams on brakes and is rear-ended by F.
F, watching oncoming G runs into back of E.
G, took slip lane left from middle lane, then ignored zipper merge to pass D and continue.

Due to location and traffic blockage police were notified, and E and F provided statements, and D was tracked down by their rego for their story (which roughly matched). G was not located.

Outcome:

Spoiler

Police report noted that E and F were both responsible due to E entering the intersection unsafely (was unable to exit due to D ahead), and as E was deemed stationary at time of impact, F was responsible for the impact. D (stalling, giving way incorrectly) and G (turning from incorrect lane) were deemed as not relevant to the incident.
