Shared Fault in Traffic Collision Despite Right of Way

The situation involved a claim for damages following a collision between two vehicles on a public road where one driver, despite having the right of way, failed to take all necessary precautions and struck the other vehicle that had entered the intersection, leading the lower court to find shared fault. The Court of Cassation rejected the appeal, affirming that even the party having the right of way must exercise caution and cannot assume the other party will strictly adhere to traffic rules; therefore, the finding of shared fault was legally justified because the favored driver's failure to maintain vigilance contributed to the accident.
