With a few phone calls, I'd bet you could get a dozen lawyers with a dozen different points of view. And you notice how many conflicting opinions you have here. With that said, only ONE opinion would matter, that being the opinion of a judge (or jury). Even with well defined laws, it's all in how the court INTERPRETS that law.
But, just for arguments sake, I've been involved in a wreck where someone hauling a mobile home made a turn, swung the rear end of the trailer into another lane as he was turning, and forced a car into my lane, where my truck was struck.

My insurance covered my truck, other drivers insurance covered his, mobile home hauler was excused from ALL liability.
