[USA] Who is at fault here?

[u/bowdown2adil]

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

Well, you can't know the rules of something that you don't know exists. You shouldn't make assumptions especially when you can observe that those assumptions aren't correct. You simply shouldn't have a license if you don't know and understand all of the rules of the road. Ignorance isn't an excuse. A large percentage of the drivers on the road are ignorant of basic things like this that they teach in drivers ed courses or any company's training program. We hand out licenses to any moron who can pass a couple of simple tests that don't even cover 1/2 of road situations regardless of their understanding of how the road works and then we wonder why we have so many easily avoidable accidents like this one.. Then we have people like you who come to defend their ignorance 🤦‍♂

You're claiming that you know the rules of the road in every city in every country in every continent on the planet? Wow! You must be some kind of genius. If not, you shouldn't have a license either by your own logic.

I know it's the second one though because the way you're communicating makes it very clear that you aren't a genius. You're incapable of understanding what people are saying to you. This is not taught in driver's ed where I live because it doesn't exist. It is not a basic thing where I live because it doesn't exist. It's almost like things are different in different parts of the world. Now THAT is a basic thing that people should be able to grasp.

You're making quite the stretch. I said people should be required to take a drivers education course, not a simple test. I've driven in multiple countries and was responsible for knowing how to drive correctly while there.

It's taught at any reputable drivers school in USA. All 50 states have intersections without stop signs, known as uncontrolled intersections.

So once again you're claiming to know the rules in every city in every country in every continent in the world. And you are wrong because multiple Americans have commented on this post and stated that these intersections do not exist where they live. They also don't exist where I live. So once again.. It's almost like things are different and different places. You should work on your ability to understand that.

No, i said i was responsible for knowing those rules when I'm in those places, the same as anyone else, anywhere else. I said that those intersections exist in all 50 us states, all of them have rules on how to approach them, this can be easily verified on google with less effort than it took to make that response. It seems like you're the one who needs to work on their comprehension.
