    I think their entering the road “caused” the accident. The other driver was definitely going way too fast and their “evasive maneauver” aas whatever the fuck that was but the Jeep was fully in their lane when it all happened. Likely they thought they had time until it turned out that the other car was going mach 1, and then it instead of hoofing it out of the way they hit the brakes(it’s not a stop everything button).

    Speculation, but I’d hardly call stopping in the other car’s lane “frame perfect”.

      we definitely do not have enough information here to determine right of way, visibility, or culpability. pretty much the only thing we can say for certain is that the SUV driver was going way too fucking fast.

        lolwat? Yes, the SUV driver is clearly also at fault and was going way too fast, but the accident is almost definitely caused by the jeep.

        They are either turning left or going straight, those are the only two options, and it is clearly not safe to have done so. They did not yield or stop for oncoming/cross traffic, period. Visibility is not a valid excuse, they didn’t stop until they were well within the SUV’s lane.

          The SUV was very far when the jeep entered the intersection. The SUV didn’t even appear in the video when the jeep started crossing. If that SUV weren’t speeding that much that was perfectly safe to cross. How can the jeep imagine that the SUV was going that fast? When it entered the intersection the SUV might have even been too far to see how fast it was really going.

          1. nobody asked, dumbass
          2. how the hell is visibility not a valid excuse when you have no idea when the suv actually entered their field of vision. the angle gives us no info about that entire side of the street. how are they supposed to stop for a car that could easily have only come into view after they’ve entered? is there cross traffic offscreen that could have obscured their view? are there stop signs or red lights? is this even a straight road beyond the segment we can see? clearly you have all the info so please share.

            If you can’t see safely into an intersection, you go slowly until you know it’s safe. Apparently you shouldn’t have a license.

            Doesn’t matter if there’s a stop sign or not, this type of intersection requires the SUV driver to yield, if not stop entirely.
