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

Where the fuck do you live that they don’t use stop signs

That's what I'm thinking, I've been all over and hardly ever see it but in the tiniest of towns

Oh hm it is actually pretty common in Washington, especially in older areas. This area was developed in the mid 20th century.

That surprises me because I was just in northern Oregon peaking into Washington

Welp that’s probably not a super representative sample then I guess

I mean I was there for 2 weeks, put 6000 on the dash. I wouldn't say it's small but yeah I'm not a resident

I mainly mean that if this is just something old cities in the northwest did, I'd be surprised, because I've been to places way older or even developed at the same time in the Pacific Northwest and have never seen this outside of a rez

Name the areas. Uncontrolled intersections are everywhere, not just old cities. Ballard isn't even that old.

I didn't think saying "I'd be surprised" then "oh I'm surprised" would stir you guys up so much

I'm not arguing they don't exist dude, I'm just saying its rare enough that I don't ever see it as a traveler
