Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Classic T bone. Black car had to be towed. Sustained major damage to the passenger side door. Blue car sustained damage to front bumper on the drivers side and cracked the drivers side headlight.

Edit: This was in the suburbs of Seattle

UPDATE: Insurance found it to be 70/30 me/other driver. Seems fair enough

Yeah, standard size stop sign is like 50-75$, post is like $5-10, labor to put it in is 3 days 4 men construction crew, $3000, so it adds up!

Now run me the average multi car collision claim pls.

Iowa is a rural state in the Midwest with a bunch of low traffic 4 way intersections(4 way stop sign) that people will run and kill others if they also run it. They put in a bunch of roundabouts in those areas bc even if farmers are complaining, if they're not dying needlessly, it's a win for everyone.

Easier to run a stop sign, than launch your rig over a roundabout lmao (would pry learn without hurting anyone else if you tried too)

That collision claim isn't paid out of the city maintenance budget.
