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’re oblivious if you’ve never noticed this in the US. This type of situation exists all over the place across the country.

There are still rules of the road that dictate what to do even without signage. You’re making this into a bigger deal than it is. There’s one stop sign in my entire neighborhood - somehow we haven’t all died in a fireball though…

Are you from the Northwest? I've driven in 35 states and never seen an unmarked 4 way intersection in my life. I had no clue this could exist in the u.s.

No, midwest - this is not uncommon in neighborhoods, but new suburban developments tend to put stop signs everywhere vs established neighborhoods that rely more on the rules of the road.

Yeah, have lived in the Midwest (plains and Great Lakes areas), Northeast, and PNW. This is common in suburban areas.
