RIGHT OF WAY
Q: My friend was driving, and I was in the front seat. We came
to an intersection that has a stop sign. On the other street, there is no
stop sign. I remember very little after that, including whether she
came to a full stop.
A: Generally, under section 1142(a) of the Vehicle and Traffic
Law, your friend was required to stop – and, even after that, yield the
right of way to any vehicle that was approaching so closely as to
constitute an immediate hazard.
All the same, there can be more than one proximate cause of
an accident. While the driver with the right-of-way is entitled to
assume that other drivers will obey the traffic laws requiring them to
yield, the driver with the right-of-way also has an obligation to keep a
proper lookout and see what can be seen through the reasonable use
of his or her senses to avoid colliding with another vehicle.
Even if your friend failed to yield the right-of-way, perhaps
this failure was not the sole proximate cause of the accident. Perhaps
the other driver was speeding, abusing a substance, preoccupied with
a cell phone, absorbed in the radio, consumed by thoughts of love or
anger, rebuking a passenger – or otherwise guilty of failing to take
reasonable care to avoid this tragedy.
