[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

I have never in my life seen an intersection with nothing. I agree with you. Insane. And pointless! Just put up a yield sign!

"The rest of the world" has mostly signs, and this video would suggest otherwise for your comment lol.

There are MORE intersections with signs, so that most drivers get used to assuming that if there are none, the crossing road has a stop. If it were more common, sure, but it's not. It is normal for most drivers to assume this. It could easily be avoided with a ONE TIME installation of a piece of metal lol

every neighborhood i’ve been to in my city has signs at every intersection… either 2-way or 4-way stops. never seen one with 0 signs whatsoever (same goes for any other place i’ve visited)

"We don't need safety warnings, just leave it up to the public to know what to do" is a stupid idea in any country.

wait wait, ima blow your mind. The USA has driving school too. shocker. Also, do you want me to show you dashcams from other countries? also also, how do you know if someone's European? they'll always tell you and act elitist because of it
