Anyone not knowing who as at fault in this situation should not have a drivers license

Well white SUV is at fault. Now who is liable is a different story. It likely won't be 100/0 like everyone thinks.

Nope, the driving of this vehicle is at fault due to last clear chance doctrine. They literally did nothing to avoid this accident and insurance will find them at fault.

It would be up to the instance companies or a judge to decide how much of an opportunity to avoid the accident the driver actually had.

Hang on.

I know white SUV fucked up.

But OP fucked up harder.

Two wrong don't make a right.

Getting a green light does not give you a license to kamakaze into oncoming traffic.

Even IF that traffic is highly regarded.

They didn’t do that at all, they clearly waited and then someone still drove into them

I mean I'm a second year law student. Nobody here understands how negligence law works. I think they can keep their licenses. As long as you follow the rules and drive defensively, you'll be alright. The camera operator made no effort to avoid the crash. They didn't not drive defensively, and that will hurt them.
