Legal Question in Personal Injury in Pennsylvania

The Wave In By Another Driver

The scenerion is three cars. One car (car #1) heading northbound in a 2 lane BLVD (2 lanes in each direction), a second car was coming out of a parking lot from the east but was blocked by traffic from seeing into the second lane. A third car stopped in the right lane to allow car #2 to exit the parking lot,--name removed--gave him the wave in that no one else was coming, so car # 2 relied on that and drove into the lane proceeding to hit car #1. The legal issue is who is at fault, is it car #2 even though--name removed--was told that no more cars were coming, or is it car #3 for saying no more cars were coming which was not true? the question is can you rely on the wave/nod in etc. by another driver to exempt you from damages? how do you research this?
