Driver 1 is driving and slowing to a stop to turn left into a private driveway on a rural hwy(country hwy). Driver 2 , is behind driver 1 and as he comes up behind driver 1, he sees he is just stopped in road, as driver 2 sees this ,he attempts to over take or pass driver 1, at this moment driver 1 decides to turn left forcing driver 2 off the road as he is passing him and wrecks into a light pole and fence....who is at fault? Cite the law if possible...
My understanding is driver 1 is at fault....

Yes driver 1 is at fault. He must yield to oncoming traffic

Did driver 1 have his signal on?

Was the left turn legal? Was the left turn signaled? Why would a person passing have the right of way over someone attempting a legal left turn?

Driver 2 tries to pass driver 1 as driver 1 is making a left turn? Drive 2 should have his (or her) license revoked. That accident is clearly his (or her) fault.

What state did this occur in? Also, why can’t you google it?

From what I understand ,it didn't matter if he had signal, he must yield to all traffic, however d1 said he did and driver 2 Said he didnt
Posted on 11/9/18 at 11:43 am to Thacian
Proof and/or witness to detail it?

My understanding is Driver 2 is autistic.

In accident report d1 admits to this

I found this...
The "or any vehicle overtaken" part leads me to believe Driver 2 is at fault.

Universal Citation: LA Rev Stat § 32:75
§75. Limitations on passing on the left
No vehicle shall be driven to the left side of the center of the highway in overtaking and passing another vehicle proceeding in the same direction unless such left side is clearly visible and is free of oncoming traffic for a sufficient distance ahead to permit such overtaking and passing to be completely made without interfering with the safe operation of any vehicle approaching from the opposite direction or any vehicle overtaken. In every event the overtaking vehicle must return to the right-hand side of the roadway before coming within one hundred feet of any vehicle approaching from the opposite direction.

As long as the road is dashed it is Driver 1's fault.
