failure to yield
Didn't give way
Failure to yield is a traffic violation for not giving the right of way when required—at yield signs, merging lanes, or to pedestrians in crosswalks.
The phrase appears in police reports, citations, and accident analyses: The driver was cited for failure to yield at the intersection.
It often describes the cause of collisions where one vehicle should have waited for another.
