What the Law Says

California Vehicle Code 21801 requires a driver turning left, or making a U-turn, to yield the right of way to any vehicle approaching from the opposite direction that is close enough to constitute a hazard, including an oncoming motorcycle. The driver may not complete the turn until it can be made with reasonable safety. When a left-turning driver misjudges the speed or distance of an approaching motorcycle, as police say may have occurred in this collision, the turning driver is often found to have violated this duty and to bear fault for the crash.

Vehicle Code 22107 separately prohibits turning a vehicle from a direct course upon a highway unless and until the movement can be made with reasonable safety, and requires the driver to give an appropriate signal. Investigators regularly look to this statute in left-turn collisions to determine whether the turning driver had a clear, safe opportunity to complete the turn before crossing the motorcyclist’s lane of travel.
