If just the crossroad has stop signs and the car turning left arrives 10 seconds before the car turning right (they want to use the same lane) does the car turning left have right of way because he arrived first?      I look at it as the same rules as a 4-way stop, except that the main road does not have to stop.

In the UK traffic approaching from your right has the right of way, in USA it's the one who has the loudest car horn!

Well, First of all they don't turn left in every race...They do have road races which are left and right turns and again not all races are repeated 500 times so get your facts straight before you down something.....But if you don't like it don't watch it!!!!!!

He asks one of the person, "Which road will the other man tell me leading to X?"\n\nJust take the opposite road.. Simple..\n\nJustification:\nIf the man was truthteller, then the other man would have told the person the wrong way and so the truthteller would also tell him the wrong way..\n\nIf the man was the liar, then the truthteller would have told the right way but the liar would tell the other way round to the traveller, hence the wrong...\n\nSo whatever answer the traveller gets for this question, he goes the opposite way.

If the road were not banked, one has to rely only upon the frictional force which provides the necessary centripetal force to turn around a curve.\n\nIf the road is banked, that is tilted to an angle C (called the angle of friction) the frictional force will disappear.\n\nBut the horizontal component of normal reaction will now provide the necessary centripetal force.  \n\nN sin C = M V V / R.\n\nThe vertical component of normal reaction is equal but opposite to the weight of the car.\n\nN cos C = Mg.\n\nDividing the first by second equation,\n\nTan C = V V / (R*g) from which C can be calculated.\n\nB).\n\nTan C = 13.4 x 13.4 / 50 x9.8 \n\n ------------- = 0.3664.\n\nC = 20.1 degree.

No, the painting on the road basiclly tells a driver what portions of the road they can use.  If there are none, other then following street signs (ie one-way) and making sure not to hit another car/person is all that is required.  A broken yellow line will mean you can pass (by going to the other side to pass the car) a car if you are driving on the side that it's broken on.  If it's solid then no passing is allowed if you are driving on the side that is solid.  If it's a single broken line you can pass regardless of the side you are on.  If it's a double solid line there's no passing regardless of side.  A white line is basiclly the same, but is generally used on interstate and state highways instead of the yellow which is used on other roads.  If there's no line that just means that you can legally drive on any portion of the road because it's not considered a "divided" (note this is different meaning then a divided highway where there's a median dividing the two sides) road.  Most cities will paint yellow lines to make two clear sides, but if the road is not wide enough or does not have enough traffic they may not put any allowing the whole road to be used.

If you want to be charged for a hit and run, then by all means, drive away without telling someone. You are not at any criminal fault for sliding into a stop sign. By law, anytime you have a collision with another car, a person, or any property, you have to stop and provide your information. \n\nIn the case of a street sign, the police would be the proper people to call. If you get in a minor fender bender, you only have to provide your info to the other driver, but you can call the police if you want.

Okay, you are talking about two points in time:  1PM and 3PM.  This implies that the beginning point is the same.  This means that the final points will indicate a triangular shape.  Since the directions are north and west, these are perpendicular directions, meaning the triangle formed would be a right triangle.\n\nThe first plane traveling north  will be able to travel 300 miles and the second plane will be able to travel 400 miles.\n\n(2 hours x 150 miles per hour = 300 miles)\n(2 hours x 200 miles per hour = 400 miles)\n\nSo, this means that these are the two legs of the right triangle.\n\nusing the pythagorean theorem, \n\na^2 + b^2 = c^2\n300^2 + 400^2 = c^2\n90000 + 160000 = c^2\n250000 = c^2\nc = 500 miles apart

A would take 22 minutes to get to 15 miles and 32 minutes to get to 20 miles. Unfortunately, there's insufficient information to be precise on B's journey. Did he spin off before the start?.. or at which point en route? Guessing it, I would say A arrived at 15 miles and at the 20 miles point first. NB. I have had to make certain assumptions in your question to arrive at this answer (eg I asumed A slows down to 40mph after 4 miles?)

Everyone's more or less right so far.\n\nBut there is another explanation as well.\n\nIf you were to call AT 6, I will be home--possibly because I never left, possibly because I will arrive before six, or possible I will arrive exactly at exactly at six.\n\nIf I will be home BY six, it means I  definately left, but if you want to call, then six is the earliest you can call to be guaranteed of reaching me at home.\n\nBy saying I will be home at 6, I am saying don't expect me to  arrive home before that time\nBy saying I will be home by six, don't expect me to arrive home later than that.time

I watched an "elderly" man drive his car into Ponderosa today.  He mistook the accelerator for the brake and matted it into the building.  He totaled his car and the front of the restaurant. Do you think he will except this as a message from god and give up his drivers license? Or will he wait until there's a person between him and the building he creams?

To the person who said 'a lot of guys turning left'....Today's Nextel Cup race was a ROAD COURSE, meaning they were turning both right and left..they were racing at Infineon, which if you actually WATCHED today rather than make the usual assumption...you would know the answer!

assuming that the back seat has three seats (or three seat belts).\n\nIf Joe got his way, and didn't sit next to a window, he should be sitting in the middle seat (the left and right seats are by windows).\nIf Mary got her way, and didn't sit in the left seat (behind the driver), she has to sit on the right side.\nThis leaves Sue to sit on the left side, behind the driver.\n\nSo, from left to right:\nSue - Joe - Mary.

First to stop should be first to start.  I don't understand your narrative about the near-accident so I can't comment on it.

Southbound: 150 km/h\nNorthbound: 200 km/h\n\n\nThey're moving apart at 850 - 500 = 350 kph.\n\nSo at 9 am they were 500 - 350 = 150 km apart.\n\nWhich means that South was going at 150 kph;\n\nSo North was moving at 200 kph.

Assume starts at Zero speed.\nMax speed is after 20 sec during which added 1.5m/s of speed each of these seconds.\nDistance during this phase d = Half a * (t squared)\nDistance during middle phase is  Max speed (as above) times 120 (NOT 2) seconds.\nDeceleration in third phase is Max speed (as above) divided by each of the 15 seconds it took to lose that speed. (If it does not work out as 4/3rds the acceleration, you have a problem!)\nDistance in the third phase is again d = Half a t^2  (Strictly speaking ut + 0.5at^2 with negative value of a, but no difference in this case as comes to a stop)\nDraw graph of speed v time (NB seconds - don't mix with minutes) find area by geometry.\nEdit - give you a clue - the distance is not 3900 and the deceleration is not 0.5 (nor even -0.5) as above.  Have you ever been tempted to give someone the wrong answer?

If you are going to pass the bus by way of driving parallel to it then yes you need to stop.  You don't need to stop if you are passing the front of the bus though.

Okay....I had to go back and find your original question.  Which was, for all you other answerers, briefly this:  Her friend was struck by a truck while he was in the crosswalk crossing the street.  That impact threw him into another vehicle.  The friend was injured.  If I understand correctly, neither driver has insurance, and one is now claiming her friend is at fault, and has even implied that her friend is/was suicidal.  Whew!  After all that, here's what I know, backed up by seven years of law enforcement experience:  a pedestrian in a crosswalk has the right of way.  The driver's at fault.  That may be small comfort, and it may not help your friend to collect any money to help pay his medical expenses, but there you have it.
