If a motorcyle is speeding and a car leaving a driveway doesn't have time to yield and the motocycle hits the car who is at fault? |

Who Is at fault?
This is a situation known as 'Contributory Negligence." Both operators are at fault, and it will take a court to decide what percentage each one carries. The motorcycle rider was speeding illegally, apparently; and the driver of the car has the absolute responsibility to leave the private drive in safety. The statement that the driver did not have time to yield is a ridiculous statement, akin to "he appeared out of nowhere." Vehicles cannot defy the laws of physics, and transporters are not in use. I am not a judge, but I would say that the driver of the car leaving the driveway is at fault for the accident.
