[QUOTE=deadoon;42320695]stuff[/QUOTE] The driver is already turning at that point, thats not where he starts turning If you actually watch the video you'll notice the lambo is pulling out onto the street much sooner than that point in that picture and the driver begins his (oddly long and stupid) left turn right as the lambo fully pulls onto the street with a lot more distance than that picture implies. At this point, under normal conditions, the car would have easily made the left turn even though its clear the driver is still shit because he did the turn so slow and elongated instead of doing what you should do where you pull up right to where you turn and quickly make the turn. Instead, the lambo essnetially cut him off short. But, the left turning driver is still a dumbass because he had plenty of time to see that he wasn't going to make his left turn even though he had already started it at the very beginning of the video. Most smarter drivers would then just hit their brakes and correct back into their lane to let the oncoming traffic go, this guy was clearly not paying too much attention once he began his turn.

If his reaction time is in the seconds, he should not be driving at all. At the distance he was when he started the left turn , he should not have even started, as the other driver would still have to slow down to prevent a collision at speeds in suburbs.
[QUOTE=Explosions;42320460]"I believe in all accidents both party's are at fault." Lol yes when you get rear-ended hard while sitting at a red light it's also YOUR fault![/QUOTE] Ive personally been called at fault for being rear-ended. Was going 10-15mph, waiting for someone to turn. Kid wasnt watching the road, rear ended me going 50mph. I ended up being called the one at fault
[QUOTE=ForgottenKane;42318854]That sounds horrible and reeks of insurance fraud potential.[/QUOTE] Actually I've had a similar accident were someone ran the stop sign and hit us causing us to spin out and tumble down a hill. The person who committed the act tried to get out of paying the bills by saying we were speeding but because the lack of proof it was thrown out. Regardless, speeding down a suburb like that is just asking for trouble.

Someone is pissed right now
[QUOTE=Str4fe;42318823]Most of this thread is defending the person that drove way over the speed limit. I dont understand. These kind of crashes happen when someone drives over the speed limit. Thats why there is speed limits.[/QUOTE] No, fuck that. Speed limits are arbitrary numbers that do nothing but line the pockets of police departments.
[QUOTE=Leo Leonardo;42324472]No, fuck that. Speed limits are arbitrary numbers that do nothing but line the pockets of police departments.[/QUOTE] They're not totally arbitrary. The difference between 70 and 80 on a motorway I'll grant you, but the difference between 20 and 50 near a school is very important.
[QUOTE=Sgt-NiallR;42324502]They're not totally arbitrary. The difference between 70 and 80 on a motorway I'll grant you, but the difference between 20 and 50 near a school is very important.[/QUOTE] Oh I'm all aboard with that. School zones and neighborhood limits are good where they are.

[QUOTE=maxumym;42317262]You can see the Lamborgini slicing right down the middle. Tests have shown that a simple impact can't slice it this cleanly. Coincidence? I think not. This is clearly an inside job.[/QUOTE] Mechanics HATE this driver! A cheap fix it yourself solution for any car damage!

So possibly, the Mazda driver saw a clear road, but the Lambo was was speeding.
[QUOTE=Saxon;42318585]In my state the lambo would be entirely at fault, you lose the right of way when you speed. [/QUOTE] I doubt it. That creates liability hell.
[QUOTE=Str4fe;42318823]Thats an underestimation. If lambo driver wouldnt have driven so much over the speed limit, none of this would have happened. What i think what happened is that the turning car driver was turning to his yard. He quickly glanced over that nobody is coming. Keeps eyes on his yard. Doesn't notice the speeding lambo and crash. Most of this thread is defending the person that drove way over the speed limit. I dont understand. These kind of crashes happen when someone drives over the speed limit. Thats why there is speed limits.[/QUOTE] Uh these kind of crashes happen in parking lots, too. If someone is pulling out in front of you, depending on the distance, the speed of the colliding vehicle becomes less of a factor in terms of who caused the crash. Did the Lamborghini cause the crash? No. Is its driver to blame? Both are.
[QUOTE=KorJax;42320285]The accident would have never happened if the lambo wasn't speeding up from a stop/slow to 60 in an area where the speed limit is much slower. The guy turning would have been clear and was likely expecting to be clear to make the left turn from the position the lambo was in when he started turning. Instead, the lambo was being dumb and continued to speed up resulting in a collision That said if the mazda driver was paying attention to the fact that a lambo was speeding up instead he would have easily been able to atleast try to correct to avoid a collision, instead he just goes right in and clips the guy. He clearly wasn't paying too much attention to oncoming traffic, especially since he didn't honk his horn or anything. So in conclusion, both drivers are fucking twats and they both should pay each other's insurance bills[/QUOTE] Even if the Lamborghini was going 20mph, the Mazda driver's turn would still have been illegal.

So possibly, the Mazda driver saw a clear road, but the Lambo was was speeding.[/QUOTE] "He could see the lambo at twice that distance" Referring to the screen cap vendetta posted, and I quoted, his car was still very straight in that picture.
I dont even see where the mazda was turning, it looks like its turning into a closed gate. And from the looks of it the blinker wasn't on.
[QUOTE=thejjokerr;42324448]He said he was waiting for someone to turn.[/QUOTE] This ^ The driver in front of me put on their turn signal and slowed to 10-15mph while waiting for traffic to clear in the oncoming lane. [QUOTE=thejjokerr;42324448] Can you further explain what happened, because I can't imagine why you would have been at fault.[/QUOTE] While on the scene of the accident, everyone involved signed a paper stating exactly what happened. Everyone agreed that; The guy behind me rear ended me while i was going 10-15, and he was going 50. After he rear ended me, i was pushed into the car in front of me, barely touching their bumper. So we signed that, and went on our way. At some point later, we recieved an accident report in the mail. On the report, the police changed it to say that i was completely at fault, that i had hit the car in front and then was rear ended. We were going to get a lawyer involved, because we had a whole metric shitton of evidence that showed i wasnt at fault (i was hit so hard my seat broke, the rear of my car had thousands of $ in damage while the front had a broken corner marker and pushed in fender, etc.) According to the lawyer, it wasnt worth the cost to fight it. So i was put at fault for the accident, despite massive evidence showing i wasnt, and had that put on my record as well as my car's record
[QUOTE=PirateMax;42319201]1. You cannot see how fast a car is going if it is coming straight towards you. This is because there is no frame of reference. 2. The Mazda driver calculates the time needed for the Lamborghini driving at the speed limit to reach the crossing and can see he can easily make the turn before the Lamborghini reaches the crossing. If the Lamborghini did not speed, the crash wouldn't occur because as a driver you shouldn't have to account for speeding drivers because speeding is against the law. Therefore the Lamborghini is wrong. A road where you have to cross oncoming traffic is not designed for high speeds, that's why there is a speed limit.[/QUOTE] Yes, someone who understands what actually happened here. I'm kind of frightened by how many of Facepunch are speaking out to support someone breaking the speed limit because he had a nice car.
[QUOTE=PirateMax;42317916]But from a distance you cannot see how fast a vehicle is moving in a straight line towards you, and the Mazda driver assumed he could make the turn before the Lamborghini arrived if it was traveling at the speed limit in that street.[/QUOTE] What? I dunno about you, but I, like everyone else, was born with the skill of spacial distancing. If you see someone coming, you fucking wait, you don't turn in front of them. Nothing irks me more than idiots like the one in the Mazda.
[QUOTE=S31-Syntax;42324017]In georgia its no argument, you rear end someone its your fault, period.[/QUOTE] In Nova Scotia if someone rear ends you into rear ending another vehicle, you're at fault.
[QUOTE=Craigewan;42330104]Yes, someone who understands what actually happened here. I'm kind of frightened by how many of Facepunch are speaking out to support someone breaking the speed limit because he had a nice car.[/QUOTE] Some people have depth perception.
[QUOTE=Craigewan;42330104]Yes, someone who understands what actually happened here. I'm kind of frightened by how many of Facepunch are speaking out to support someone breaking the speed limit because he had a nice car.[/QUOTE] thats not really how it works mazda will get arrested for traffic violation, so will the lambo
[QUOTE=A_Pigeon;42330171]In Nova Scotia if someone rear ends you into rear ending another vehicle, you're at fault.[/QUOTE] In a normal, low speed collision, thats somewhat understandable. In my case, i was rear ended so hard my seat broke and i couldnt reach anything until i was able to pull myself forward. By that time, i had no time to stop, even though i was quite a ways behind the car in front when i was hit
[QUOTE=Craigewan;42330104]Yes, someone who understands what actually happened here. I'm kind of frightened by how many of Facepunch are speaking out to support someone breaking the speed limit because he had a nice car.[/QUOTE] Old Mate could see and I assume hear the car coming, he had about a three car gap when he decided to pull out in front of it, he didn't have his indicator on. The lambo driver had no way of knowing he was turning until the car pulled out in front of him at the last moment, where he tried to swerve to avoid him. At that distance, a car going slowly would still have to react to this prick pulling out in front of him, as he was clearly turning very slowly. Hence if Old Mate in the Mazda stopped, indicated, and then turned like a normal person the crash would not have occurred.

Fuck what the lawyer said, you're probably going to pay more with increased insurance rates than the actual court costs you would have had. Not to mention, you've got a moving violation on your record, so I certainly hope a drunk guy doesn't walk in front of your truck (I'm going to assume truck here) at 3 AM. If a scenario like that happened, you would be in several different modes of fucked simultaneously.
[QUOTE=Lomme;42318395]GTA 4 car damage system was already dramatic enough: [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/p14FV.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE] I've just noticed that niko is still in there :v:
This is similar to how my first crash was, except a lot less speed, I was going in straight line, when this other drunk driver, stopped ahead for some seconds, I was going to just pass him, he was in the wrong carril for turning so there was no way any logical driver would do anything of sorts, when he decided to turn into me out of nowhere. My mother was in the copilot seat at the moment, and she just ripped the other driver glasses in an histerical state, and that driver, punched my mother, and fled in his damaged car. I couldn't do anything I was in shock.
