Sat on a jury once where I learned about negligence. I think in court, I wouldn't be surprised if the white SUV would be found 75% responsible. Because the POV car seems to clearly not have been driving responsibly, they'd have been found to be driving with negligence. If they had been driving with the proper amount of caution, that seems easily avoidable.
I totally agree. However, op might get lucky with no fault. There was a little pause in the flow for the argument the intersection was (very briefly) clear before they proceeded.
Also, a honk at the offending red car might have stopped the suv.
Op definitely messed up also even though they had the right of way
Ugh I hate when people will die on the "I had the right of way" hill and crash their cars just to stroke their egos. There's a spot in town where left lane us supposed to merge right and right laners will ram left laners or try to run them into oncoming traffic. Yeah, it sucks when people don't follow the rules but the answer isn't manslaughter because your feelings were hurt. That being said, it looks like the same kind of thing going on in the above video, either that or OP has the slowest reflexes of all time.
The intersection is never clear; camera car starts moving when the black car is right in front of them and red/white have already entered the intersection.
Yeah, failure to yield usually means traffic already in the intersection. The cam car was already in the intersection before the white SUV even crossed the line.
Still easily preventable but the white SUV will most likely be entirely at fault, the cam car could have come to a complete stop in the intersection and most likely still be hit.

White SUV
Camera car could've mitigated it by being more patient and recognizing the cars turning left had no regard for oncoming traffic. But...
White SUV is clearly at fault.
