A right turn from the inside, or from the same lane, clips a car going straight on the outside. What usually gets looked at first is whether the turning car signaled, and whether it waited. That is not a slogan that says a right turn is always fully at fault. How fast the straight car was going, and whether it was sitting in the turn, comes into it too.
If the preliminary table lists a violation on both sides, the insurers may still each write a percentage. That percentage is not a judgment. If you want to argue it, use the dashcam, the lane lines, and where the turn started. Not who talked first at the scene.
What you can do first
- 01Photograph the indicator, the lane lines, and where both cars stopped.
- 02Don't stop at 'I was going straight, so they had to let me'. Say which line your car was on.
- 03While the split isn't fixed, don't sign a settlement that only writes one percentage.

Rewritten in my own words. Not a judgment and not a law firm's article. If a number shows up, it belonged to that public discussion, not to you. Check the Judicial Yuan judgment system. These started as public discussions of car crashes. I rewrote them here. Not a law firm's article.
I'm not a lawyer, and I'm not a mediator. I can't decide this for you. The statute that counts is the one still in force. Judgments live on the Judicial Yuan site.
