Motorcycles and cars collide at roundabouts, who is at fault?
Roundabout is often understood with other names such as roundabout or roundabout. There is still no concept of what a roundabout is. Specifically, a roundabout can be understood as a circle that serves as a marker of the intersection so that traffic flows in the direction of the arrow move to a certain road branch.
Pursuant to the provisions of Article 24 of the Law on Road Traffic 2008 of Vietnam as follows:
Giving way at intersections
When approaching an intersection, the operator of a vehicle shall slow down and give way according to the following provisions:
1. At an intersection without signals to move around the roundabout, to give way to vehicles approaching from the right;
2. At an intersection with signals to move around the roundabout, to give way to vehicles approaching from the left;
3. At an intersection between a priority road and a non-priority road or between a feeder road and a main road, the vehicle coming from the non-priority road or the feeder road must give way to the vehicle moving on the priority road or the main road from any direction of traffic.
Thus, in your case, in the case of a roundabout, the regulations on giving way will follow the principle: At an intersection with signals to move around the roundabout, to give way to vehicles approaching from the left.
Therefore, if you strictly follow this principle, the object at fault is the car, if you do not follow the principle, you are at fault and will be fined.
