Interesting, although in a legal sense I doubt anything will happen to either drivers though neither stopped

The Hummer probably didn't even check the U turn lane before turning. That being said, had the individual in the FR-S not disabled their traction control and been speeding, that could have been a very elegantly executed turn where both vehicles could have proceeded at the same time, safely.
I don't think the Hummer was "in the right", but I also think it's a bit ridiculous that people in that position often can't turn because most people can't follow the basic rules of turning into the closest lane, or maintaining theirs while doing so when it is a normal-size road, and you aren't driving a larger vehicle that is difficult to maneuver. So many people take up two lanes to execute a turn, or switch lanes while doing so without signaling for no apparent reason (don't need to take the next exit, or turn down an upcoming street). I apologize for the rant - there are a lot of bad drivers around here. That, and situations such as the one in the video is probably the reason U turning is illegal here in Oregon lol |

Most states and provinces stipulate that the u-turner is responsible for ensuring the u-turn is safe to complete which it clearly wasn't if a collision occurred. This is pretty cut and dry. Even in places where there isn't such a stipulation, fault will usually still fall to the u-turner for failing to yield right of way to the right turner. This is because the u-turner DOES have a yield sign (the yellow and black stripes bar) which is the same as a stop sign for the purposes of right of way, just that coming to a complete stop isn't required. |

Funny how a lot of drivers (especially those from the GTA do not understand the rules of the road, or being courteous while driving, which goes hand in hand with driving safely |

Edit: Watching the video again I believe both the FRS and Hummer are stopped at that intersection waiting for cars to pass from the very first frame of the video. If citations were to be handed out imo 86 gets nailed for reckless driving, Hummer gets nailed for some small careless driving or unsafe merge/lane change. Edit 2: If anything, the sideswipe sections from your link are most applicable and mostly assign a 25/75 or 50/50 fault percentage. @Ammunition I would love to see you do a u-turn within the space of 2 lanes and a 1 foot wide island, I know I can't without spinning the tires.

Because I love arguing on the internet (yes I probably am retarded) I linked the video to a legal assistant friend and got some opinions so I'm going to put a few nails in this coffin.
Now I have to admit my misunderstanding because realistically, right of way won't ever play into this. She confirmed that U-turners are almost always found at fault in an accident because they are the ones making the more dangerous maneuver so they take on the liability. See section 19 above. Sometimes there are extenuating circumstances but these are usually either moving to avoid another vehicle or something was obstructing their view that was out of their control. From what we can see, neither of these are the case here but this would be up to the cops investigation to determine. Now she did say that a cop might consider this a split fault scenario if the Hummer ran the stop sign but it's still likely the u-turning FRS would be at fault for failing to look/check. Also, as long as the Hummer stopped, it's unlikely the cop will find them at fault because it will be easy to explain that the FRS driver looked like he was just turning left and a reasonable cop probably won't assign fault. Just wanted to touch on Legal vs. Insurance fault. Yes, legal and insurance fault ARE different things. You may not be at fault legally but if the insurance company believes you could have done something to prevent the accident, they may still find you at fault for insurance purposes but it never works the other way around. If you are found at fault legally, the insurance companies will trust that judgement 100%. |

Good Question: Who has the right of way in a u-turn?. "The driver making a right on red must yield to a driver making a U-turn." That also applies to stop signs. The Hummer was at the stop sign. The FR-S was in a left turn lane with no signage. The FR-S had the right of way. The Hummer failed to yield the right of way. And it's that way in most states. Here's a thread where cops set you straight on the concept. Here's another news story quoting another cop to set you straight. And yet another. Here's the same explanation on a Florida police department website. Here's an article quoting a North Carolina DOT official saying the same thing. And here's one from Texas. |

I also stated that U turns aren't legal here, so yes this is speaking from a manner of basic road principles to maintain your lane, turn into the closest lane, not speeding like a maniac, etc; obviously additional caution will need to be applied when necessary as driving is a dynamic situaiton - that is sort of beside the point I was getting at which I admitted to being a rant.

I'm saying the turning radius of the 86 makes it impossible without sliding the tires, give it a shot next time nobody is looking. There's a few 2 lane roads nearby where I have maybe 6" to spare from hitting the curb on the far right when making a u-turn.
