So im driving home and i get t-boned however there is no sign's on either side. No yield no stop nothing he was turning left i was going straight he smacked me and fucked up my truck's door. HE was not the owner of the vehicle it was his brother inlaw's.
Im guessing that he's not on the insurance so i win automatic..
As well i let him go and told him to call me tommorow or i would to him ect. I said pay me cash and we'll work something out either way i think hes at fault is he?
1. Im going straight
2. He's turning left
3. There is no sign's
4. He isnt the registerd driver of the suv
5. My truck's doors fucked
6.He has a scratch
what do i do and fuck my arm hurts -.- |

Your both stupid!
If there is no signs, assume as a 4 way stop.
You both lose. |

And what if you can't tell that there are no signs for the crossing traffic either? |

| I believe at unmarked intersection the person on the right has the right of way. I could be wrong but thats the way I was taught 20ish years ago. |

If there is no signs it is an uncontrolled intersection... you are required to approach with caution at a speed which would allow you to stop if need be. This was out of town was it not? I dont believe there are many uncontrolled intersections in the city.

No you do not win "automatic" because he is not the registered owned of the vehicle... I can go take a buddies car with his permission and if you rear end me while im parked at a stop light, your at fault.
Um... was he comming towards you or perpendicular to your direction of travel... I think a MSpaint drawing would help your cause. |

Yielding the right-of-way There are times when you must yield the right-of-way. This means you must let another driver go first. Here are some rules about when you must yield the right-of-way.
At an intersection without signs or lights, you must yield the right-of-way to a vehicle approaching the intersection before you, and if you arrive at the same time, the vehicle approaching from the right has the right-of-way
At an intersection with stop signs at all corners, you must yield the right-of-way to the first vehicle to come to a complete stop. If two vehicles stop at the same time, the vehicle on the left must yield to the vehicle on the right
At any intersection where you want to turn left or right, you must yield the right-of-way. If you are turning left, you must wait for approaching traffic to pass or turn and for pedestrians in or approaching your path to cross. If you are turning right, you must wait for pedestrians to cross if they are in or approaching your path
A yield sign means you must slow down or stop if necessary and yield the right-of-way to traffic in the intersection or on the intersecting road.
When entering a road from a private road or driveway, you must yield to vehicles on the road and pedestrians on the sidewalk
You must yield the right-of-way to pedestrians crossing at specially marked pedestrian crossovers
Remember, signalling does not give you the right-of-way. You must make sure the way is clear.
This was from an Ontario infrastructure site but Alberta law is very similar. |

| uncontrolled intersection. if he was on your right/passenger side turning into you then you lose. person on the right side has right of way. pretty stupid. but this is how it works. according to my godi and definsive driving courses. |

| I was under the impression that the driver making a left hand turn was always at fault no matter what? |

a) the insurance companies are probably going to settle at 50/50 at a uncontrolled intersection.
b) you dont win "automatically" cause hes not a named driver, his premiums are just going to skyrocket.
c) if your in pain, go see a doctor. any medical supplies ( drugs and shit ) will be compensated for. |

I was on a main street driving through i drive it alot there is never sign's on this side i was going about 30 there was lot's of tree's he came out and smoked my driver's side he was turning left onto the road. There was no way of seeing the sign's on his side or seeing him for the matter i aproached with caution he did not he hit me.I mention the he's not registerd driver because when i got insurance on all my car's here they asked if i wanted to put my fiance on but it would be more money that if i did not my insurance would be null if there was an incidient more or less ''she cant drive the vehicle''.
Anyway i think he think's he's at fault im preety sure he is actually and is gonna pay for my new door so not to bad i imagine all the body shop's are booked solid do you just go to them and get a quote or an apoitment hows that work? |

I'd wager that 90% of all intersections in Edmonton are uncontrolled...ie: just about every residential intersection.
Blowing through one of those was an automatic fail on a driver's license road test.
Keep on your toes. |

That's pretty much what I thought...
Had the other driver proceeded STRAIGHT through the intersection, then Cheverz would be at fault, presuming the other driver reached the intersection first...
But since the other driver decided to turn left, Cheverz is NOT at fault, the driver making a left-hand turn will always be at fault. |

I don't know what part of the city you live in, but that's not right.
Around where I live, and have driven, MOST intersections are controlled. If you drive through Riverbend, Riverside, Terwillegar, etc. you will see a controlled intersection at 90% of places, be it a yield sign or stop sign (most common). There's only a couple I can think of, and they were in (old) Riverbend, which I only found when I was taking my AMA driver training.
So, I disagree... there's about 90% controlled intersections in this city. If the area has a lot of trees it's fair enough, if they couldn't see you, shit happens .. but regardless you were going slow enough, and you were going straight, he was turning left, you are not supposed to cross the path of a vehicle. If it was either uncontrolled or 4-way, if you stopped at exactly the same time, looking head on at each other, you would have had right of way because he's crossing your path. But, you were going straight, and he would have been turning to go the same way you were, correct? He's at fault, no matter which way you try to swing it. |
