Key Timestamps
- 0:05 - Driver A (leading) and Driver B (trailing) approach the straight, with Driver B positioned slightly to the inside.
- 0:08 - Driver B initiates an overtaking move on the straight, moving alongside Driver A.
- 0:10 - Driver A makes a sudden lateral move toward Driver B, reducing space and causing contact.
- 0:12 - Contact occurs between the two cars, leading to loss of control for both drivers.
- 0:15 - Both cars spin off track as a result of the incident.
Rule Violated- SCCA/BMW CCA - One Move on Straights: A driver is allowed only one defensive move on a straight to protect their position. Any additional lateral movement or sudden change in line that impedes another driver is considered a violation.
- Vortex of Danger: Drivers must be aware of cars in close proximity and avoid actions that create dangerous situations, such as abrupt line changes without regard for peripheral vision checks.
Fault Allocation
- Driver A: 80%
- Driver B: 20%
Reasoning
Driver A, as the leading car, failed to adhere to the "one move on straights" rule by making a sudden and aggressive lateral move toward Driver B after the initial defensive positioning. This move directly caused the contact, as Driver B was already alongside and had a reasonable expectation of space. Driver A also neglected the "Vortex of Danger" principle by not accounting for Driver B’s presence, likely due to insufficient peripheral vision checks. Driver B bears minor fault (20%) for potentially misjudging the closing speed and not anticipating a possible defensive reaction, though their overtaking attempt was within the rules and executed with reasonable space initially. The primary responsibility lies with Driver A for the unsafe maneuver.
