It's a 2 way road, 1 lane for each direction (the cars are kind of small in my original picture), we are both heading north. I AM at the wrong side of the road in the moment of the impact.
The line goes like this - - - - - before intersection, but I'm not sure if it's full once you enter it, I should check that out.
I was thinking exactly the same as you guys BEFORE this guy from my insurance contacted me saying that she's been carelessly performing the most dangerous (legal) maneuver in traffic - the left turn.
If it wasn't for her mistake, I wouldn't have made mine. And when I did make mine, she still had a chance to avoid clash, but failed to take it.
And to the people who are saying what were you thinking... phew, I'm lucky this happened on this occasions; I've done stuff more retarded than this... (like passing people thru the bus stops - those small expansions of the road that are intended for buses to stop and drop people off)
She was just driving slowly, and me and my friend were discussing something so I didn't really think while driving, I was impulsively doing stuff.
I still feel like it's more my fault, but if the law says she's more to blame, I shouldn't really feel bad to take money.
Well seems like you're an impatient driver. Which makes for a terrible driver over all. I say its your fault. Even though I hate how people DO NOT USE THEIR BLINKERS the fact that you crossed the intersection..when you were not supposed to is just illegal. Bad call on both parts but I feel it would be about 90% your fault and 10% hers. Hell, I wouldn't check my left blindside when turning left? Everything points against you so why not just pay them more money and say yourself lawyer fees.
:hint: Don't talk while driving since you cant seem to multitask well :/. You must be a terrible starcraft player

If you were ahead and she turned into you she is at fault right? She drove into you. She's a woman. It's her fault.

you are not allowed to drive past a car in an intersection according to swedish traffic law atleast, Her mistakes (no blinkers, no dead angle etc) are stupid, but as a pure legal matter you are 100% responsible. sorry.

Yeah, I lose myself in the lategame madness // intersection passing+talking.
Too bad switching to protoss won't fix driving problems.

Ok since it's a 2 way road and not a one way road, I retract my previous statement and say simply...
You are one crazy ass XD.

Yeah, that's apparently one of the key reasons the insurance won't pay her all the costs. Even tho I obviously made a mistake, I was still ahead of her and it was her who hit me, not the other way around.
I wonder whose fault would it be if you went thru an intersection when you had green light, but your car stops in the middle of it. Then the cars from the crossing road get green light and one of them crashes into you. You had no business being there, but they're still retarded to crash into you.

Typical driving behaviour for the Balkans. I fucking hate traffic here.

If you had a serious problem (like engine failure) it would be their fault, because "they didn't adapt their speed to the traffic conditions". This also applies if I stop my car in the middle of a fking' turn and someone comes from behind and doesn't have time to break. It's wrong but they say you should be able to stop in case something happens to the car in front of you. So yeah, it wouldn't be your fault, in theory.
This case, however, 100% your fault. Who checks their left side when turning left in an intersection? You did bad.

Unless thats a one way street you fucked up. Pay the lady.

Legally, you are 100% at fault. I wouldn't try to do any "battling" in court, it's a huge waste of time and resources...

She cant really help that she is a woman now can she?

this is croatia, just bribe the cops or law enforcement and the judge, and you will be fine.
|
so you accelerated past her just after the stop sign on the wrong side of the road?
such a bad move....
or the stop sign is for the road going other direction?
drawing is so bad i cant tell
|
Your fault. Pay and get it out of the way. You'd end up paying if you go to court so just pay now, save the time. Don't be an ass.

Yea I've passed people in bus stop lanes too. This is 10 times more retarded than that.
|
just consider yourself lucky for not being involved in a head on collision instead, that wouldve been much worse
|
I changed my mind about how I feel about you being allowed to drive after reading a couple more of your responses. You should assume full responsibility, and give up the right to drive. You have no business being on the road, as you're a danger to yourself, and everyone around you. I hate people who pass on the shoulders/bus lanes/bike lanes/whatever lane you're not supposed to go into, but you do it anyway because you're an impatient prick.
That said, you should at least seek advice from a lawyer before doing anything. And don't pay until you're being forced to go to court.

Pay 100% of the damages and drive more carefully next time. Think of the wasted money as something extra that you paid for a learning experience.
