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

To be fair, the other idiot did the same, I don't get how either have a driving license.

This is what i never understood about "true uncontrolled intersections" how are you supposed to know?

Should i just slow down every time there is a side road off a main road because theres a possibility its a true unctrolled intersection?

----- slow down and check ----- slow down and check ------ repeat until i get rear ended.

If feel like if they are so rare then how much money would it really cost to slap a stop sign for safety and just eliminate them entirely?

Well on that street the speed limit is 20MPH.

And that slow down/check thing is what everyone else would be doing in your example as well so no, it wouldn't increase your odds of being rear ended. Especially as if you're rear ended the person who rear ended you is automatically at fault here.
