Entering Roadway From Opposing Private Driveways
Not sure if this is the right forum or not, did a little searching and couldn't find much help.
My question is regarding 2 vehicles entering the roadway (both left hand turns) from opposing private driveways.
Situation (Accident) is this.
Car A is turning left (south) onto roadway from driveway (Esso). Road is 4 lanes plus a turn lane (Ontario & SSR in beamsville if you want to see an arial shot)
Car B begins to make a right hand turn (south) then decides that traffic is to busy and changes mid turn to go left (north).
Car B and Car A collide. Car B hits rear passenger door and rear wheel of Car A. Car B is damaged on passenger side headlight area. Car A is in the northbound turn lane (facing south) and generally clear of opposing driveway edges.
Where does fault lie? Is there any provisions for right of way in this situation in the HTA? My thinking is that if both directions of the roadway are clear then it would be treated as an intersection.
My insurance is saying its 50/50 but from what i can see from the Insurance Fault Determination rules (using 13.2 and 13.3) the fault would be on Car B 100%
