Here's one where both cars are doing things right but will be in a crash!

Picture the RAB with North, south, east and west exits.

Car #1 enters the RAB from the South entrance in the left lane with intentions of making a left turn, exiting west.

Car #2 enters the RAB shortl after from the North entrance in the right lane with intentions of going straight thru, exiting south and is driving along side car #1.

Both cars approach the West exit and CRASH!!!

Car #1 wanted to exit and car #2 wanted to continue straight thru.

Who would be the "At Fault" vehicle? Guess this is something for the Sheriff's office to sort out.


In your scenario, the only way for the second car to be alongside the first car is if the second car did not properly yield to the first car as it came around in front of him. He should not enter the circle until the car already in the circle has passed by him. So, the fault would be the second car.
