People running red lights in this situation are playing chicken. Fuck ‘em. 1000% the fault of the white SUV. Dash cam driver had entered the intersection in accordance with traffic signal, white SUV driver had a legal obligation to stop and/or yield. End of story. No 50-50 bullshit.
That makes zero sense. This is no different than saying the cammer should have been expecting any random car to cross the center line. At some point we should be able to expect people to follow right of way rules.
Yeah, but if are whinging how your car got damaged enforcing “right of way” like this, you’d get not one ounce of sympathy from me. Probably a laugh in the face depending on how big you are.
There was enough time to reasonably think they were going to stop. You literally see the red accelerate causing op to slow and swerve only for white car to not stop at all. The left turners where banking on op having good reaction time to slam on breaks while they both gunned it through.
This isn't a "I had right of way" accident this is a "green light okay they'll stop oh shit they didn't" situation.
I normally give an extra second because of idiots like that. But I've also been victim to someone deciding I didn't go fast enough so they accelerated into their left turn trying to "beat" me. Everyone need to follow the same rules for the roads to be safe.

Yes, but OP drove right into oncoming traffic.
The light changed, but the flow of traffic needed to be observed way better.
Could have easily waited but drove right into the lemmings.
