No, that's not true. Take the simple case, you're not belted in (therefore disobeying laws, let's choose California, for example) and the light turns green but it turned for both you and the other side because of a malfunction. You would be marked down as no one at fault.
- scarface74 7y agoYou were both obeying the traffic laws. In the case of lane splitting where it is illegal - one person clearly wasn’t. Not wearing your seat belt didn’t cause the accident.
- scarejunba 7y agoOh no, one person wasn't following the laws: no belt. You'll get ticketed for that in CA (where the scenario is set). That's to illustrate precisely the idea you mentioned. The violation of laws must contribute to the accident for it to count towards fault. Now that it's clear to me that you agree with that, I'm happy to close the discussion.
