[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are people so concerned with what happened and how? What does assigning blame even do now -- 3 people paid with their life and this poor teen girl is now an orphan. If her dad misjudged -- well he and his family paid the ultimate price. If the BMW driver was at fault -- well that still doesn't bring this family back together again.[/quote]

Because either way a lesson need to be learned and hopefully we can all don our best not to let this happen again. [/quote]

The "best" (though nothing is guaranteed) way for it not to happen again is to not make left turns on open intersections like that -- drive to the next light w/ the left turn signal, wait for it to give you a green arrow, then make a u turn and come back to wherever you wanted to go. What are the chances this happens given peoples' obsession with -- OMG I'm SOOOO busy, you have NOOO idea how busy we are, we are already SOOO late -- attitude!?

I say just feel sad for this family bc this is the ultimate tragedy and move on w/o blaming either side.[/quote]

I don't know anybody who does this. You might go 2-3 more intersections before you can turn again. Turning left across traffic isn't illegal, nor is it unsafe in normal conditions. IF your car experienced acceleration issues or IF you had an obstructed view or IF the oncoming car was speeding like mad, that would change things, but people perform this maneuver every single day with no incident. It's a bit much to suggest everyone go an extra few intersections each way to avoid making left on green every single time. [/quote]
