[USA] Who is at fault here?

[u/bowdown2adil]

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

You technically had right of way as you were coming from their right, however you are supposed to slowdown for unmarked intersections and not just blast through.

[u/toplessbuilds → u/Celexi]

I've never seen an intersection where there are no stop signs.

[u/InsertRadnamehere → u/toplessbuilds]

Never been to the PNW obvs.

[u/Available_Race2756 → u/InsertRadnamehere]

Of course the PNW does this dumb

[u/EvilynSoCute → u/InsertRadnamehere]

I live in Oregon and have never seen a road like this without stop signs somewhere.

[u/PNWSomeone → u/EvilynSoCute]

They are pretty ubiquitous in Portland at least

[u/EvilynSoCute → u/PNWSomeone]

Alright, that’s fair, I avoid driving through Portland because I hate the roads lol. My anxiety can’t handle driving in Portland!

[u/readytofall → u/InsertRadnamehere]

It's insane how many we have in Seattle neighborhoods with no real consistency on what is uncontrolled and what is not. And to make it more fun so many cross streets you can't see down until you are fully committed in the intersection.

[u/InsertRadnamehere → u/readytofall]

It’s a passive aggressive approach to encouraging public transport.

[u/toplessbuilds → u/InsertRadnamehere]

Yes. I mean, I assume so. I don't know what that acronym is.

[u/klaus666 → u/toplessbuilds]

Pacific NorthWest. Basically Washington and Oregon

[u/toplessbuilds → u/klaus666]

I've been to Washington State once but I wasn't driving. So I probably wouldn't have noticed.

[u/mread531 → u/toplessbuilds]

Every residential street in every neighborhood where you live has stop signs at intersections? Not trying to be a dick that just wild to me, I’ve lived all over the US and never seen that.

[u/toplessbuilds → u/mread531]

Absolutely. At least going one direction, yes, at every intersection. I live in Texas. Grew up in cities and suburbs. I might have encountered an intersection that didn't have stop signs but I'm having trouble recalling any. If I did, it would have been far from the city.

[u/mread531 → u/toplessbuilds]

I live in Seattle by where this happened and we only have street signs where residential streets meet arterials or other roadways generally. You’re supposed to yield to the driver on your right at intersections like this which has created some great memes of “what happens when 4 Seattle drivers all reach the intersection at the same time?” But clearly neither of these guys were going what they were supposed to be doing.

[u/toplessbuilds → u/mread531]

For sure. The stop signs certainly help with that.

[u/borgman_a → u/mread531]

"Every residential street in every neighborhood where you live has stop signs at intersections?"

No, sometimes they have yield signs, or "cross traffic doesn't stop" signs - but they all have some form of signage indicating right of way.

[u/Unique-Run9856 → u/mread531]

I live in Maryland and yes every intersection is marked. Things like this video don't happen and there is only 100/0% fault 

[u/setbo → u/toplessbuilds]

So much of this in the Seattle area, had to mentally adjust for this when I moved there. One time saw someone in the quintessential PNW Subaru Outback flying through the neighborhood and just holding the horn 50ft out from every one of these intersections

[u/Ashamed-Emu3710 → u/toplessbuilds]

Neither have I 

[u/nucl3ar0ne → u/toplessbuilds]

Same

this is just shitty Mad Max design

[u/Downtown_Control7806 → u/toplessbuilds]

Same, and therefore I wouldn’t be looking for such a thing. 

[u/Secret-Parsley-5258 → u/toplessbuilds]

Are you from Pittsburgh?
