Recently, in the event of an accident at Lincoln Rd, I turned from Paramount Dr to Lincoln Rd's buffer belt and went straight to MOMOTEA on Lincoln Rd. In the traffic, the B-car on the Lincoln Rd Toyota Westcity turn out, across the direction of Lincoln Rd to Motoway turn right, the beginning of a car did not notice the B car will be out, and then when the A car faster than the front of the car When the B car hit my left side of the rear door and the left rear wheel near the bumper. In accordance with the truth, A car in the right side of the B car, it should be B car to give way A car?Or the A Car give way to the B car?

Thank you.

H there,
From your account it is a little hard to piece together exactly what happened.
However, it does sound like you are talking about a "flush" median, this is allowed to be used by vehicles in either direction for a short period of time. Providing there are no yellow lines in the road that prevent motorists crossing.
