Ontario driving question: Who would be at fault, and how could this situation have been avoided?
v.redd.itHi everyone, I’m looking for some advice on a driving situation captured on my dashcam in Ontario.
I’d appreciate your thoughts on who might be at fault if a collision had occurred, as well as how both drivers could have handled the situation more safely.
What happened:
* I was driving in the right lane when I noticed a sign indicating that my lane was ending, so I needed to merge left.
* At around the same time, there was a side street on my front-left. A vehicle was approaching the main road from that side street and intended to turn left onto the main road.
* I realized that the vehicle was partially blocking my path, so I moved slightly toward the lane on my right to avoid a potential collision.
*Update: As I was moving slightly to the right to avoid a potential collision, the other vehicle also moved to the left into the lane between the two solid yellow lines.
