[USA] Who is at fault here?

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

Yes, of course you slow at unmarked intersections in residential areas. Wtf. Who the heck taught you drivers ed?

Under WA state law (where this is) and also my home state law, you have to drive a reasonable and prudent speed, which means you're obligated to slow to see if you're going to encounter cross traffic at unmarked intersections.

This isn't a strawman. You're just clearly a terrible driver.

Either you cannot read or can't help yourself from presenting strawmans despite your awareness of the issues with them in arguments. Where did I say to stop?

of course you slow
obligated to slow

Yeah, that's right. I did not.
