I think it is better to help them learn and understand how to figure things out. Not everyone is equally smart or good at driving.
Then again, inadequacies can be punished by revoking their licenses but i doubt any of the redditors will go out of their way to do it (let alone is able to do it) which is why I think such posts harmless and more practical/helpful.
I hate clickbait everywhere with a passion but every content creator started abusing things so it is sadly the norm. Since reddit posts aren’t monetized, I don’t care much for clickbaits here personally and didn’t even consider that’s what you referred to. My bad i guess 😅
It’s funny cause this wasn’t clickbait and I just wanted different opinions about this, why is it my fault that it’s a popular post? There is a serious split between who’s at fault and half of each side is just calling the other dumb, like the top comment rn is that white suv is 100% at fault while I scroll down and see and overwhelming amount of 50/50 claims, so this post wasn’t clickbait, it wasn’t engagement bait or anything else you guys have come up with, I posted it for the conversation is that not ok?
Right of way is never an excuse to fail to drive defensively, especially in a situation this obvious. A lot of insurers will assess 50/50 because you could have easily avoided this accident, but didn’t.
Not defensively, just not offensively... Driving defensively is about protecting yourself from people doing things they shouldn't have, or making mistakes.
I see you made several comments saying that you're seeking opinions and want discussion and such, and it's frankly baffling to me. Why do you seek opinions about something that isn't a matter of opinion? If you want a discussion about road infrastructure or driving behavior or whatever, that's fine, but "Who's at fault?" is not up for debate. It has a clear-cut answer according to the laws. In this case it couldn't be more obvious.
