What if nagka collision and si right of way (row) hit the rear of merging car, who would the investigator choose as at fault?

This is assuming both cars are travelling at nearly the SAME speed and merging car with light indicators on is slightly ahead of row car.

In this scenario I would pick row car is at fault. Since row car had enough time to react and drive defensively, possibly row car acted as an asshole and even sped up to block the merge car (pinoy trait) BUT the counter arguement is that the merging car should have slowed down when he noticed the merging road.

EDIT: Based pala sa illustration, masyadong tabi talaga si row at merge car, so kasalanan talaga ni merge car if nearly same speed talaga sila, unless pinoy si row car na nag speed up lang when napansin nyang mag change na ng lane si merge car. Haha.

Technically, tama ka diyan. Kung sino ang bumangga, siya ang may kasalanan. Kahit si A pa ang may right-of-way, dito sa Pilipinas, kasalanan pa rin niya yung banggaan.

Kaya nga kung matatandaan niyo yung sagot sa tanong sa Driver's written exam; Ang ligtas na alituntunin kahit nakatitiyak na ikaw ang may karapatan ay huwag ipilit ang KARAPATAN.

Just yesterday, I was driving at EDSA (near Buendia MRT station) on my lane following another car on bumper to bumper traffic. A stupid van driver on my left was trying to push himself in between me and the car in front. He didn't even have his signal lights switched on to merge right. Nope, no way I let him squeeze his big van in such a small gap. If he had sped up, he would crash into me and the 5-series BMW in front.

The one shifting lane should yield unless the car moving forward on their lane slows down to give way to the car shifting lane

Regarding dun sa mga nag sasabi ng merge should yield I think common sense naman yun, I've been driving for 5 year (yes bagito pa) here in manila, and never pa naman ako nakakita ng 4+ wheeler na di nag yield when merging. Kahit taxi and jeeps nag yyield naman. Motorcycles and drunk/asleep/dui drivers lang naman siguro yung hindi mag yield.

OP probably wants to explore different scenarios in regards mergings.

Example, kung susundin ng lahat yun yield blah blah baka after 10+ cars or 2mins+ di ka parin naka merge, either kasi lalong nag sspeed up yung cars para di ka pasingitin kasi naka signal ka or talagang dating ng dating si Right of Way car. Kaya for me right of way should also consider kung sinong nauna as secondary basis and yung speed mo relative sa right of way car hindi lang dahil ikaw yung nasa main lane.
