The lane that goes straight through without changing is the main lane. If you merge into that lane, you have to yield to the flow of traffic. That means if your lane ends, it is you that should yeild.

Who has the right of way in a road when two lanes turn into one and there is no lane straight but both merge into the one lane in England?

I don't know about England, but, there should be a warning sign or arrows indicating that a lane is going to merge. Also, the person who is there first should have the right way.


Is a merging sign a warning sign?

Well, yes, it warns you that the lanes are going to merge soon into one road. If it wasn't there, drivers may not understand that they must adjust their speeds to safely merge, rather than assume other traffic must wait for them.


Who is at fault in backing up side impact collision?

Whoever is backing up is at fault. No matter what the circumstances. Watchout!! Even if you are involved in a collision with an unlicensed driver who is driving recklessly, if you are backing up it will still be YOUR FAULT ! The question will answer itself if you didn't try to force the wording so much: Don't you think who is at fault "...when you back into the side of some one...." seems pretty clear?

If someone changes lanes in front of you cutting you off and you hit them in the back who is at fault?

depends on if they changed lanes safely or not(used their turn signals and changed lanes when safe to do so ) If they did you are at fault , if not they are . ALLWAYS get a cop out on the scene of a traffic accident , get a report and request that they be cited(given a ticket ) if they illegally change lanes etc , that way you have placed the blame where it should be and had it verified by an independent party (the police) , which is a tough combo to beat in a claim or in court . Good luck


Who is fault when proceeding from 2 lane road to 1 lane road and hit from rear end side?

That depends on who was in the lane of travel, and who was in the merge lane. The merge lane is the one required to yield to the travel lane. If the vehicle in the merge lane failed to yield the right-of-way, that'll definitely be a factor. However, other factors may apply, as well. Motorists have a bad tendency to want to suddenly speed up and pass a merging vehicle when they see a turn signal. Excessive speed/reckless driving on the part of one or both drivers will play a factor in determining fault, as well. In short, one would have to know all the details of the situation you described in order to determine whose at fault.

Whose fault is it when you are in a ditch with your flashers on and get hit in the rear by another car?

Most likely it is the other person's fault. You were not moving and therefore cannot do anything to avoid the accident. The other party is the only one that could take any action to prohibit the collision.


Can you merge multiple questions at once?

No, you cannot merge multiple questions at once. You can only merge multiple alternates at one time.


Who is at fault if car 1 in the far left lane on a three-lane road and car 2 in the far right speeds up to pass car 1 and make an illegal u-turn but brakes to avoid oncoming traffic and car 1 hits it?

The police will have to decide on this one because it depends how close you were when car #2 made the U-turn. If it was far enough away then both of you would be at fault. Car #1 would be at fault for "undue care and attention" and Car #2 would be at fault for making an illegal u-turn. Car 2 is at fault from enroachment into the left lane. He has not only the obligation to yield to traffic in the lane with which he wants to merge, but also the responsibility to yield to oncoming traffic. In most states, he also can't change multiple lanes at a time. Car 2 is clearly at fault.


Who is at fault in a collision between a car on the roadway and one exiting a parking lot?

This did happen to me and I was the exiting the parking lot. I had already crossed one lane of traffic and was hit on the driver's side front fender by a car in the second lane. I was ruled "at fault" because I entered the other driver's lane of travel.
