Left turning vehicles have the greater duty of care than even passing vehicles. both are stupid B is legally at fault, but there is some comp/neg on A

Why do you even have to ask this?
Because OP is driver B and is hoping someone else will agree with him that he wasn't at fault.

I don't understand how this is even a question.

I thought it was clear cut. But of course Driver B is disputing. I don't understand what can be disputed.

Why would you attempt to pass someone in a lane you aren't suppose to be in and in the direction they have indicated they are turning? Of course you are at fault.

I never understand why drivers need to turn the opposite direction they intend on turning to get a little extra turn radius.

Who is at fault?

Ditto, yet Driver B doesn't want to take responsibility.

Thinking about Tchoupitoulas street, I don't see how you park on the opposite side of the road without making this veer right maneuver before U-turning.
Regardless of whether it's a safe move by driver A, it's still Driver B's fault.

A few days ago I was driving down the street about to pull into my driveway. I see a car behind me and I put on my passenger side blinker on as I’m making a right turn. I live on a narrow street with berms in front of the houses so a wide turn is required to pull in without hitting the berm. As I’m making my turn into the driveway, I see the piece of shite behind me not even attempting to slow down and appear to be trying to pass me on the passenger side. As I pull into the driveway, they were right on my arse. I was dumbfounded.

Driver B.
You cannot run into someone because you "assume" they are gonna do something.

Sounds like driver B might be an auto insurance adjuster.

I was told by a friend who is a police officer about this same situation. If the section of road that Driver A was turning left on is marked as a DO NOT PASS (solid yellow line) then Driver B is at fault. If the road is just a regular 2 lane (dotted yellow) then Driver A is at fault. Driver A is responsible for traffic in both directions even is someone is attempting to pass, even if Driver A has blinker on. I'm not saying I agree to this but I heard it straight out of a local cop's mouth. He may be wrong...but he said it.

Driver A slows down to make a left turn, with blinker on, to park on the opposite side of the road. Driver B, thinking that driver A is turning right, slightly merges into the opposite traffic lane to pass driver A on the left.
Driver B thought Driver A was turning right even though Driver A had his left turn blinker on? Really? Driver B is your typical impatient driver who is not willing to wait for someone in front of him to complete a driving maneuver. This type of aggressive driving causes many accidents.

That cop must have been Driver B.

Driver A needs to Get Gordon, get it done.

I assume you are Driver B. This is your fault.
Be patient. Don't be a dick driver.

B. I was hit like this delivering pizza turning left on to Hood from Hyacinth. I was going slow as frick about to turn right on to hood(the road isn't exactly straight across) an then put on blinker and turned left.
Funny part... It was Maurice Carter in 1997. He was driving a 300z and he had no idea who owned the car. Was fully insured and registerd to a booster in MS. Cop got a laugh and didn't ticket him.
But said booster's insurance paid for my damage.

If the guy in front of you puts his blinker on and slows down to turn, there is no way it's legal for you to cross over the dotted yellow and try to speed past him on the inside before he can make the turn.
