Liability if Overtaking Vehicle Crashes Into Vehicle Turning Right?
One of the most common road traffic accident scenarios is when a vehicle is attempting to turn right off a single carriageway, while a vehicle behind is attempting to overtake, resulting in a collision. Liability for accidents of this kind is often hotly disputed, with the opposing parties giving different versions of events.
When this is the case, one or other driver may be forced to acknowledge contributory negligence and accept a split of liability for the accident, in the process potentially losing their insurance premium and no claims bonus, even though the accident may have been entirely the fault of the other driver. They may also lose the chance to claim compensation for injuries sustained in the accident, along with vehicle repair costs, medical expenses and potential loss of earnings due to enforced time off work.

- About Our Road Traffic Accident Claims Service
Speed is the major factor that frequently makes accidents of this type so serious due to the intensity of the impact between two vehicles travelling at high speed. Excessive speed, poor weather conditions, and drivers misjudging distance and road conditions, for whatever reason, cause the majority of overtaking accidents. Overtaking is in itself one of the most complicated driving manoeuvres, being time limited and requiring fast decision making. Drivers also often do not need to overtake, but to reduce their journey time or avoid slow-moving traffic, do so anyway.
