What Can Happen When a Driver Fails to Yield?
Failing to yield can lead to crashes when vehicles approach an intersection from different directions. A driver who enters another vehicle’s path may leave the other motorist with little time to brake or avoid the impact.
The results can be more severe when the collision causes vehicles to overturn. Factors such as vehicle speed, impact angle, roadway conditions, and seat belt use can affect the outcome. Drivers should follow right-of-way rules and remain alert for vehicles approaching from other directions.
