He cut the corner so sharp that he gave the red car nowhere to go. The red car couldn't have avoided that accident even if he had stop, but I don't think "give way" officially means you have to stop, it just means you have to give way. There was no way for that red car to have given way, the cam car cut the corner on red car's of the intersection.

Here's a snippet from the SA handbook
Quote:
If you enter an intersection:

if there are no markings and you are turning right into a multi-lane road, it is safest to turn into the lane on the new road closest to the middle of that road
when turning right, you should pass as near as you can to the right of the centre point of the intersection. Do not cut across the corner as you will risk a collision with a vehicle that is coming from the right - start your turn when you are close to the centre of the intersection (Example 10)
