Good question, but it depends on several factors. Specifically: 1. All states have comparative negligence laws. For some, you can split the fault and both parties pay. For others, if you're more than 51% at-fault, you can't collect for your damages. In others, if you're both 50% at-fault, neither driver can collect from the other party. 2. You'd want to do a scene inspection of the loss location, preferably at the same time of night that the loss occurred. Are the streets well-lit, or completely dark except for vehicle headlights? Are the streets lit by nearby stores or parking lots? 3. On the night of the accident, was it a clear night? Full moon? Again, you'd want to determine if the streets had any light. 4. What was the point-of-impact? If Driver B, who didn't have his lights on, broadsided Driver A's vehicle, there would be definite comparative negligence on Driver B. 5. What kind of car was Driver B operating? A large, white SUV would probably be more visible than a dark blue Miata. 6. Did any cars pass through the intersection prior to Driver B? This could affect liability, as Driver A would naturally expect to see other headlights and could have been "blinded" by recent passing vehicles. All in all, I'd expect most claims adjusters to assess some liability to Driver B, given the circumstances of the loss.
Answer about left turnsCarefully, unless you are in China. The person turning left must yield to oncoming traffic. At a regular traffic light, you should enter the intersection. When the oncoming traffic stops for the red light you Amy proceed in order to clear the intersection.

Oncoming Traffic
Oncoming traffic does, unless they have a stop sign.
You continue through the turn but only after you make sure that there is no oncoming traffic. It is your responsibility to yield to vehicles that are coming straight through the intersection.
NO. BUT IT WILL BE A HINDERANCE TO ONCOMING TRAFFIC
True
In 1987 California passed a law known as the anti-gridlock law. A motorist that is blocking an intersection for oncoming traffic can be ticketed by police for breaking this law.
the amygdala controles fear. So it keeps you scared from oncoming traffic.
Depending on a city, but it doesn't mean you have right of way if there is one or multiple uncomming cars. Then it would be an illegal turn.
You should always look for a yield sign, or oncoming traffic.
No. Bicycles travelling on a public roadway are subject to the same traffic laws as motor vehicles. Making a U-turn and driving into oncoming traffic would be unlawful for a motor vehicle and thus, also for a bicyclist.
