Who is at fault if a driver has his lights off at night and is going through a lit intersection on a green light and is hit by a car turning left?
The driver with the lights off. He/she violated traffic laws and thereby created a traffic hazard resulting in an accident. Not true. I turned in front of a lady at night who didnt have her lights on. The weather was rainy, it was cold out, and not well lit. I only saw her when she used her turn signal to switch lanes, in the intersection, and she took off after she hit the back of my car. She eventually came back 15-20 mins later, but I was still cited and had to pay for her repairs since I was the one who turned in front of her regardless of the circumstances. I thought she was in the wrong since A) she didnt have her lights on, B) she switched lanes in an intersection, which is illegal in Ohio, and C) that she didnt immediately pull over. Lesson learned.

What is controlled intersections?
Controlled intersections have traffic lights, yield signs or stop signs to control traffic. At a controlled intersection where you face a green light, drive carefully through the intersection at a steady speed. If the light has been green for a while, be prepared to stop when it turns yellow. However, if you are already so close that you cannot stop safely, drive through the intersection with caution. Where you face a red light, come to a complete stop and wait until the light turns green. When you approach an intersection on a main road, and the intersection is blocked with traffic, stop before entering the intersection and wait until the traffic ahead moves on. This does not apply if you are turning left or right. At a controlled intersection where you face a yield sign, slow down or stop if necessary and wait until the way is clear before driving through the intersection. At a controlled intersection where you face a stop sign, come to a complete stop. Drive through the intersection only when the way is clear (Diagram 2-15).

How do you make a turning signal for a car?
Almost every car nowadays come with a turning signal. If you do not have a turning signal, a legal way to signal that you are going to turn would be to stretch out your hand in the direction that you are turning to. Otherwise, you can install two lights (flashing or not) on the two corners of your car. Link it to the buttons near the driver's seat for convenience, and press the button to activate the lights as a signal.
