| I had a near death experience on September 16th. I was driving my car and took a left turn by yielding the opposite side traffic. And there was no car coming from the opposite side and suddenly a speeding car appeared in front of my car. The car’s speed might be 80-90 mph. Is there a way to access the data from traffic camera website(?) |
That’s not what a near death experience is, OP. A NDE is when your heart stops and you are clinically dead but are revived. Sounds like you had a close call if you are able to post about it a day later. |
Correct. Heck, by OP's measure, I'd have thousands of near death experiences of all types by now! |
| You want the police to waste their time trying to figure out the speed of this car? And do so with a red light camera which based on their title likely do not track speed. |
But was there actually an accident? Sounds like they had the right of way |
| I mean, regardless of speed...if there had been an accident, you'd be at fault. you were the one turning into traffic assuming the other driver would slow down. I'd also be willing to bet that he wasn't going 80-90mph. what are you looking to accomplish here? |
| So would you try to cross a yellow light with 80-90 mph speed from a distance? |
| Yes it was super super fast. A neighbor of mine was behind me and told me I was not at fault at all. I was simply following the rule of driving my car in yellow light and turning left. |
you WOULD be at fault. you are the one turning into traffic, regardless of anybody's speed. again, I ask, what are you hoping to accomplish? |
This is not true at all- both drivers broke the law, OP by failing to yeild and the other driving by speeding. The other driver’s speed would absolutely be considered in figuring out comparative fault. |
That is not correct. If you are crossing lanes, you are required to yield. The speed of others is irrelevant. You did not yield to the vehicle that was legally in their lane. |
| the person changing lanes, turning, etc is always at fault. OP is a snowflake |
|
I love the lengths dcums go to to defend aggressive driving, lmao!
“I have the right of way! You can’t turn in front of me! If I’m doing 70 mph, you’re still at fault!” Priceless. |
| Get a dash cam. |
Well according to the law they are still at fault. |
