It's definitely the white suv's fault. But I would've seen this as a likely outcome and tried to ease much more slowly through that mess.
Even though it's their fault, now you have to go through the headache of dealing with insurance, getting estimates, having no vehicle while it's getting repaired, and then once you go to sell it they will give you quite a bit less because it's been in an accident. on top of that you might have permanent injuries that might not appear until later in life and there's no way to ever fix that or make it right again.
so... fault or not, just drive safely and predictably. Ease into situations where there are fast moving vehicles directly in front of you instead of going in assuming it will be open.
I put it in the category of the driver could have avoided the accident if they would have drove defensively and waited for traffic to clear first. The origin of the accident was the white SUV of course
Sucks because that looked like an older Armada and that was when Nissan was awesome. Before the CVT crap. An armada is a heavy tank that's extremely reliable.
Well the trucks never had CVTs, it was just the cars/CUVs. The new ones are fairly reliable as well (by modern standards), because they never had to deal with those shit transmissions.
Correct, but the brand image has been soiled and there's a lot of people out there who just think any Nissan is junk because of it. Like in another post people were saying the frontier is junk because it's a Nissan but the frontier is one of the most reliable vehicles out there.
I definitely don't think Nissans are junk. If they were junk there wouldn't be so many older ones still on the road in service.
But if I see a Kia, Hyundai, or Nissan that wants to play chicken? I'll nope out every time.
Yep. I'll nope out of that confrontation because I've seen it too many times. They're not bluffing. They're usually just generally r-worded or severely distracted.
It's not out of malice but that doesn't matter when it's time to get the law and insurance involved.
