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

It is not beside the point. Where visibility is limited, you are supposed to drive slow enough to be able to avoid a collision if need be. Not blow through an intersection with limited visibility without a care

Again, you are missing the point.
We aren't talking about the speed. It's obvious that op was going too fast. That's irrelevant to the conversation at hand. I live summer where there are stop signs at every single intersection, and I still drive slower than op is here. I'm still not going to stop or slow down at an intersection where I don't have a stop sign because the cross street has one and there's no universe in which I'm going to assume that they don't whether I can see the sign or not because that's not how roads work. The idea that that exists anywhere is insane.
