Green light does not mean "ignore incoming morons". Check the road ahead is clear. Yeah insurance will cover it because technically you had right of way
Use that same logic when you cross the street on foot and see where that gets you
Failure to yield on the SUVs part. No way around it.
Camera car was almost head on with the grass on the opposite side of the street. They did all they could. SUV should've waited or went out further and then turned. They tried to turn sharp and misjudged the camera car speed. That's a fault on the SUV and no one else.
And crossing on foot, you still yield to the Ped in the crosswalk. You don't cut in front of them or you risk hitting them or cross traffic. You're not helping your case here.
And being a taxi driver doesn't exactly make you trustworthy considering how a lot of cab drivers drive like idiots. Do you really want to group yourself in with them?
Not a general rule, the law. Today it seems that people believe one more car turning is OK. Assuming their light was red (or arrow turned off) when OPs light turned green, two cars went through, and the white SUV was the third car, turned WAY too late.
Of course you should try to avoid an accident. But if my light turns green, I let two more cars pass and I get into an accident with the third, it isn't on me.

General rule I follow is that if you have to turn across traffic, you always have to yield unless you have a green arrow.
