Common Failure to Yield Incidents
It seems that accidents happen every day due to a driver's failure
to yield. It can happen under a wide variety of circumstances and for
many different reasons.
Some of the most common failure-to-yield accidents occur when drivers:
- Hit pedestrians or bikes crossing in front of the stoplight
- Merge onto freeways
- Move through intersections without looking
- Back up from parking spaces or driveways
- Turn left and do not properly yield
Unfortunately, any number of these situations can create a serious accident.
It is always better to err on the side of caution when it comes to yielding
in your vehicle. Failure to yield can occur due to driver fatigue, misjudging
speeds or distances of others, driving too aggressively, and speeding.

different penalties. Penalties may include traffic fines up to $500, a
