This is a very common accident to see involving Tractor-Trailers who must often swing left before turning right, and end up with a car whizzing up their right side. In spite of the fact that the manoevre was necessary, the onus is still on the driver who swung wide to ensure his right side remains clear. Therefore, Driver 1 is most likely At Fault.

Who is at fault if the person in the front car is on their phone at an intersection with no oncoming vehicles and the car behind can't stop due to ice and slides into them?
Car behind, you should travel at a speed you at stop at.The driver should take into account driving conditions. I hear you say but the car in front should have moved off as no traffic was coming. What if the car had stalled or the driver was having a heart attack?

How many feet must you dim your headlight on up coming vehicle?
It depends on where you live. But the rule of thumb I was taught is that if you can see another driver's car in front of you, you should dim your headlights. That usually means to keep your brights off whenever you can see oncoming traffic or whenever you are behind another car that you can see.

If there are oncoming cars to the left of you and a child on a bike to the right what is the correct action to take?
When there are oncoming cars to left of you and a child on a bike to the right, long before you get close to the biker, SLOW down, be prepared to stop. Let all oncoming traffic pass. Stay behind the biker, with plenty of distance. Do NOT blow your horn at the biker--the child could wreck. Once ALL oncoming traffic is past, AND you have clear sight distance, slowly drive past the biker (even if you cross left of center) and pull back to your lane with enough distance in front of the biker. Bikers have rights to be on the road, too.

Yes, the LEFT TURNER must ensure that the turn can be made in safety. If not, do not make the turn - go to the next intersection and then come back.

500ft if it's oncoming. 350ft if you're coming up behind someone.
Who is at fault if driver a waiting to make left hand turn does not yield to ongoing traffic and car b hits back end o f car who and was a busy street with no lights?
It depends on what you mean by 'ongoing'. If you are waiting to make a left, the traffic moving in the opposite direction is called the oncoming traffic. If you did not yield to the oncoming traffic, or did not wait for it to clear the intersection before you turned, then you are at fault for the accident. If you are waiting to make a left and a car moving the same direction as you are facing hits you, then the car that hit you is at fault IF you were stopped and/or signaling that you were turning left. When making a left turn from the left lane, cars on your side of the road are supposed to pass your car in the lane to the right of you; if you are making a left from the only lane, the cars behind you are supposed to stop and wait for you to make the turn.
