In Texas, neither. Texas law requires that the right lane yield the ROW to vehicles in the left in that instance; however, that does not infer any "right" on drivers in the left lane. It is called driving defensively. People need to stop worrying about claiming their ROW, and they need to drive like adults. |

The correct behavior is for drivers to zipper in. Take turns like most of us were were taught to as children.
In the event there are only two cars that happen to be going the same speed right next to each other, the car on the left should go first. Quoted: The vehicle with the most lug nuts always has the right of way. That too. An 18-wheel truck has ROW over any passenger vehicle. |

Okay, here's the reason. If the vehicle on the right goes first, he must only cross one lane of the road before the vehicle on the left may proceed. If the vehicle on the left goes first, he must cross 2 lanes of traffic before the vehicle on the right can proceed. The vehicle on the right goes first to "expedite traffic movement".

That intersection is a marvel of organization compared to what I deal with out this way. Imagine 4 left-turning lanes of traffic with no functional traffic controls. |

When I was young, two local cities had "roundabouts" like that. (Also called traffic circles.) They were sure a mess, but people learned how to navigate them pretty well. Both have been removed and replaced by traffic lights. Quote HistoryQuoted:

(Also called traffic circles.) They were sure a mess, but people learned how to navigate them pretty well. Both have been removed and replaced by traffic lights. The biggest problem with roundabouts out where I live is that the traffic planners don't build the roundabout big enough to allow traffic to flow at the speeds it should. They use the same space that a 4 way stop has. Almost every damn one of them has a 15mph speed limit while in it. So you go from 40 to 15 mph.
In New Zealand you don't slow down at a roundabout, you speed up so you can get in front of the car that's already in the roundabout. You never stop at the entrance of a roundabout.

So if the person in the left lane was to not let the lane cutter in that is in the right lane and an accident happened whose fault would it be? Quote HistoryQuoted:

Left lane. But both drivers need to make it work. There is such a thing as forcing the right-of-way. So if the person in the left lane was to not let the lane cutter in that is in the right lane and an accident happened whose fault would it be? Right of way can only be given, not taken. the person moving into the through lane still has to yield to vehicles already in the lane. |

The person in the bigger vehicle. Definitely not the guy on a motorcycle no matter what lane he's in.
