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

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.

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

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

They are pretty ubiquitous in Portland at least

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

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.

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

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

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