Left turns can be incredibly dangerous even under the best conditions. They typically go against the flow of traffic, and they often rely on the judgment of the driver turning left rather than traffic signals or stop signs. Despite these conditions, left-turners are typically blamed and held at fault for left-turn accidents due to Arizona law.
According to
Arizona state law, a driver at an intersection who intends to turn left should yield to oncoming traffic approaching from the opposite direction. This rule sounds simple enough to follow, but you can likely think of several scenarios where this situation could still end in an accident, especially if you were just in one.
