2 green traffic lights across from each other one car is taking a right and one is taking a left which car has to yield?
the car making the left yields to the car making the right otherwise the car making the left can be sited for failure to yield to the right of way to oncoming traffic.
Who is at fault if A is traveling straight through an intersection on a green signal and B turns left in front of A and A hits B on the right passenger side door?
B is at fault. Drivers making a turn, must yield to oncoming traffic. B is at fault for making a left turn without yielding. There is no general rule that all turning traffic must yield, although some jurisdictions may have such a specialized rule.
Whose fault when making left turn and no traffic coming and you get hit on back passenger side?
Obviously, there was traffic coming and you failed to yield to it. You will be charged.
If a truck that has a green Yield For Left Turn suddenly turns in front of you and you hit the truck who is at fault?

Who is at fault if driver A was cited for reckless driving but driver B had the stop sign and yielded then made the turn but was hit in the rear left corner of car?
Well, you have the obligation to yield right of way, but if the other driver was cited then it's likely his fault. A copy of the accident report will clearly state which driver is at fault.
Who is at fault if driver a waiting to make left hand turn does not yield to ongoing traffic and car b hits back end o f car who and was a busy street with no lights?
It depends on what you mean by 'ongoing'. If you are waiting to make a left, the traffic moving in the opposite direction is called the oncoming traffic. If you did not yield to the oncoming traffic, or did not wait for it to clear the intersection before you turned, then you are at fault for the accident. If you are waiting to make a left and a car moving the same direction as you are facing hits you, then the car that hit you is at fault IF you were stopped and/or signaling that you were turning left. When making a left turn from the left lane, cars on your side of the road are supposed to pass your car in the lane to the right of you; if you are making a left from the only lane, the cars behind you are supposed to stop and wait for you to make the turn.
When you are turning left you must yield the right of way to oncoming traffic?
When turning left, you must yield the right of way to oncoming traffic. There is no such thing as left of way, unless you are protected by a green left turn light. Always wait to see what the oncoming traffic is doing before turning left. Remember...there is no such thing as "left of way".
Who is at fault if car 1 in the far left lane on a three-lane road and car 2 in the far right speeds up to pass car 1 and make an illegal u-turn but brakes to avoid oncoming traffic and car 1 hits it?
The police will have to decide on this one because it depends how close you were when car #2 made the U-turn. If it was far enough away then both of you would be at fault. Car #1 would be at fault for "undue care and attention" and Car #2 would be at fault for making an illegal u-turn. Car 2 is at fault from enroachment into the left lane. He has not only the obligation to yield to traffic in the lane with which he wants to merge, but also the responsibility to yield to oncoming traffic. In most states, he also can't change multiple lanes at a time. Car 2 is clearly at fault.

When turning left on green -- if you have a left turn yield on green and the driver across from you has a yield sign and is turning right -- who has the right-of-way?
this is really a matter of courtesy, he must yield to you, but since you are turning LEFT, legally he has the right of way, UNLESS YOU ARE TURNING LEFT ON A GREEN ARROW then you will have the right of way.Another View: The question states that the left turner has a sign that says "Left Turn Yield on Green." In that case the left turner MUST yield to the right turner since even without signs, the right turn has the right-of-way and is the 'superior' vehicle in this scenario.Of course, as stated above, if there is a left turn arrow controlliing the left turn lane, then all other traffic must yield to the movement that is authorized by the signal, and in THAT scenario the left turner WOULD have the ROW over the opposing traffic.
