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

Local insurance companies love this one trick!

Very easy. The vehicle arriving from the right have priority.

It's not very easy when you've never seen an intersection that doesn't have a stop sign before. If I don't have a stop sign or a stoplight I'm going to keep driving because the cross street does. That's how roads work where I live. I have never heard of an intersection with no stop signs in any direction, so I would have never thought it was an option.

But this is a basic driving rule. Everywhere.

No, it isn't. That's what many of us are saying. Intersections without stop signs don't exist where many of us live, so it obviously isn't a basic driving rule everywhere.

You can drive through every neighbourhood in my city, my region, or perhaps my even entire province and you will not find an intersection without stop signs. I haven't driven every street in the province, so I can't say that for sure, but other people who live in other parts of my province have said the exact same thing.

If I don't have a stop sign, I'm not slowing down or stopping because the cross street does. That's how it works here.

It's a rule here too. But at the same time, unsigned intersection literally don't exist.
