If it hits on the left side of your car, obviously your positioning on the road is wrong.
Another VIew: Other car speeding or not, it is the car that turned into the path of the oncoming traffic that is At Fault. You were either inattentive, or if youir depth and speed perception of moving traffic is THAT bad, you ought not to be driving.

∙ 14y agoGoing ONLY by the information contained in the question: If the other driver struck you - then they are at fault. On the other hand, if YOU struck them, you MIGHT be at fault depending on whether they stopped before entering the roadway or not. It mainly comes down to a question of who had the last chance to stop, yield, or avoid the collision.

∙ 13y agoit would be the other guys fault for he would be the one who had to stop
Another view: First: any car that intends to pass another, HAS TO be travelling at a greater speed than the car they're passing.
Second; Did the turning car signal their intention to turn?
Third: Unless passing was prohibited on that particular stretch of road the turning car should have been alert to the possibility that they could be passed.
From the bare facts disclosed in the question, it is my belief that, unless they were being passed in a No Passing Zone, the turning vehicle was at fault for turning into the path the the passing vehicle.

Who is at fault when making a left hand turn and the other vehicle got a ticket for improper passing?
It seems obvious that the person ticketed for improper passing is at fault, assuming that a left-hand turn could be legally made at this location and that proper signals were issued.
Whose fault is it if an uninsured driver slides down a snowy unplowed driveway into the illegally parked car of the homeowner?
The fact that the car was illegally parked doesn't matter. The driver of the moving car was responsible to adjust their driving to the road conditions, and to ensure it was safe to proceed. This accident will be the fault of the uninsured driver.
Who is at fault The car turning onto the road in the right lane or the car in the left lane that merged into the right lane?
This depends upon where you were struck exactly. Did they hit you on the rear end, side, or front? Damages tell alot about an accident and the fault determination. If you were rear-ended on the ramp then the other party is generally 100% at fault, unless you were negligent and stopped very suddenly instead of continuing with the flow of traffic. This should be discussed with police and your insurer in this case. I may be reading the question wrong, but I think you mean one vehicle was entering the highway from the onramp and the other was already on the highway. In this case, there is (almost) no doubt that the merging driver is at fault.
Could 911 be Paul McCartneys fault?

What are the lyrics to Nobodys Fault But Mine by Led Zeppelin?
If you read the biography the theory behind the lyrics is Robert Plants plea to save his soul in repent of practicing satanism but Robert Plant would probably have a good laugh if he was asked about it, I dont think Plant has ever officially stated what the songs lyrics were about.

Who is at fault when someone is backing out of a driveway and hits a car semi blocking that driveway?
The car that is moving is normally the one at fault. No matter how someone is positioned you should not drive into them (going forward or in reverse). It therefore seems to me that the car backing out of the driveway is at fault.

Who is responsible when backing out of your own private driveway and hit a car parked in front of and obstructing the driveway?
It is the person who is blocking the private driveway's fault because they should have known not to park in front of a private driveway in the first place. However, if the private driveway is not marked with a sign of some sort to let people know that it is private, it may be the driveway owner's fault.

Pedestrians have the right of way. Unless you can prove he/she was grosely negligent or did it on purpose then you are at fault.

If backing out of your driveway you come to a full stop at the end of it because you see another car coming and the other car hits you while your bumper is still on your own driveway who ist at fault.?
It depends. Which bumper is still in your driveway, your front or rear? Did the other car leave the roadway and hit your car? After you came to a full stop did you then proceed to back out and then got hit? If any part of your car was in the roadway then it would most probably be your fault. Any vehicle that is entering into traffic from a driveway is required to yield the right of way to those vehicles traveling within the roadway. If you stuck 2 inches of your car into the road and you were hit, it would be your fault.
If a vehicle is pulling out of a driveway onto the road and a vehicle that is speeding collides with them who is at fault?
Possibly both drivers would be assigned a percentage of the responsibility. If not, it would be the fault of the driver pulling out of the driveway. It is your responsibility to make sure that you have ample time and space to enter any roadway before you do so. If the other driver was exceeding the speed limit, they could be assigned the fault, with the thought that if they had been traveling the proper speed, they would be in control of the vehicle and could have avoided it.
Whose fault is it when person A backing out from his driveway and hit the car of person B that was U turning from where he parked on the curb that has double yellow line in the residential area CA?
It would be my opinion that you are both at fault. Car A should have been looking all around before backing out of a driveway. It sounds like car B made an illegal u turn and crossed double yellow lines. I would say that both of you are equally at fault. Just my opinion
