If your coming out of a stop sign a 60 mph there is something wrong with that. It's the stop sign dudes fault.

theoretically you are supposed to always be in control of your car... also if the driver going 60 (opefully the speed limit) hit his brakes then there would be skid mark patches that can be analyzed. If there was no attempt to brake made then it is the oncoming driver's fault, otherwise it is the stop sign guy's fault.

the one with the stop sign. the one without had the right of way. so the one with the sign was supposed to yield to the traffic on the road it was merging onto.

the one making the turn, who happens to also have a stop sign. That being said, there could be a factor with the speed of the other car. However, the person at the stop sign will always be in the wrong, because you can't move until traffic permits.

Lex

If the car had a stop sign, and failed to stop, or did a left turn in front of another car (assuming driving on the right hand side), regardless of whether there was a stop sign in front of them, the accident would be the fault of the turning car UNLESS they had the traffic lights indicating a green left-turn arrow. In general, the car that is turning must always give way, unless they have a green light specifically for turning purposes.
Hope this helps :)

THE CAR PULLING OUT FROM THE STOP SIGN. THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE TO LOOK BOTH WAYS AND MAKING SURE THERE NO CARS COMMING.

Ahhh,....the guy that blew the stop sign? Just guessing you understand.
Why do you even have to ask this question?

John Smith

Depends on the situation. Normally driver 1 who had the stop sign would most likely be at fault since he had the stop sign. and since driver 2 had no stop sign he had no obligation to stop. However if driver 2 was exceeding the speed limit he could be held at fault as well. But normally it would be driver 1 at fault. It takes too long for the brain to react to movement when a car pulls out in front of another car for the driver to stop and avoid them unless you have taking defensive driving courses and then it becomes habit but thats not the typical situation.

Sonny

The car WITH the stop sign. That is why the sign is there.

Belwhisper

The car at the stop sign. To my knowledge they should give way to anything already travelling on the road they are turning into, if it is a side street to the main flow of traffic or a T intersection.

Daniela

I think it is the one that had the stop sign because the stop sign means to stop, look both ways and go.

blatantly opinionated

The car with the stop sign has the responsibility to wait until he can safely make his turn. It would be his fault.

ravenjudge

driver at stop sign yields right of way. driver making left turn yields right of way. no one HAS the right of way, exactly. all drivers need to look out for the other guys.

TAF187

the person making the left turn is 99 % at fault specially in CA

dr.squirt

i think the one at the stop sign but the other one shood have been looking out for cars and to drive slower

gold digger

The car turning at stop signs fault.

Mother and wife

The one with the stop sign is at fault.
Although if the person going 60mph was speeding the person with the stop sign could go to court and try to prove that had the person been going the speed limit he would have had ample time to make his turn.

It appears you were the one at the stop sign.

You should have been looking, lanes with no stop signs have the right of way, you should have seen the person coming and not pulled out in front of them.

Save The Tatas

The person that had the stop sign. If they were going 60, they wouldn't have had enough time to stop anyway, but that person could still get a ticket cuz they might be going too fast past the speed limit.

tampabaylive

If you had a stop sign, and you pulled out and got hit, it's your fault..you failed to yield the right of way

lolololololop

The one with the stop sign because they could have stopped and yielded

julez

I have been in this accident. I was the person at the stop sign and it was my fault... I even got a ticket for failure to yield.

Miles

whoever hit the car would probably be responsible
