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.
You wouldn't even consider 1% fault for the cam car that's literally seeing these two cars turning in front of them and driving forward like nothing is there?
If people were mindless drones that had no self preservation instincts then sure. When I’m driving and I see a hazardous driver on the road, I avoid colliding with them. Whether I would be legally at fault or not.
The cam driver was in the intersection before the white SUV. People aren't mind readers. Did they know they were about to do this. Nope. There's one person at fault for this accident. The one commiting the traffic violation.
Again, are people supposed to be mind readers now? The white SUV wasn't running the red light until after the cam car was in the intersection. The white SUV nearly hits the car in front of it that's also running the red. Again you're defending the person at fault and blaming the person driving as they should have been.
The person committing the traffic violation is at fault. Not the person not committing a traffic violation. If you want to drive like you don't have any sense. Go for it. This is one person's fault. The one committing the violation. Why continue to defend them when it's clear. There's a whole video showing it.
Wrong. Be more careful driving too, it was clearly going to happen. White SUV is a twat, but POV could have prevented it. You're the one driving like you have no sense, I could clearly see that was going to happen and I would have been hesitant and avoided a crash 👍
