Despite what is stated above, the passing driver may still be partially at fault. If there is a lot of room in the feeder lane and the passing driver had plenty of space to avoid the reversing car, the passing driver may be 100 percent at fault. This is especially true if the driver in the feeder lane was negligent in some other way, such as by driving on the wrong side of the road, speeding, impaired by drugs or alcohol, distracted, or drowsy.
