    Insurance will decide who is at fault. However, I am citing dash cam guy for not stopping at the stop sign.

    According to the law, the POV car. According to my mind, both. It almost seemed like the Mercedes attempted to get hit, if you see the car driving agressively, why pull out and turn sharp??

    Dashcam person. Improper lane use/ failure to drive in a single lane. Violation of a stop sign.

    It’s one lane of traffic with a parking zone, not two.

    You can’t just make up your own lanes. He pulled up next to the Porsche in the same lane

    A lot of times it’s not really clear cut, but this one?

    100% the dumbass who filmed this. They committed multiple traffic violations here. I’d have to look at my state’s aggressive driving statute for the required underlying violations, but there might even be enough in that video to support that citation too.

    And if dashcam dude gave me this video to try to show the other guy at fault, I’d make sure I had a copy first, then issue him citations, and then he tries to fight it in court I’ll play the video he provided for the judge.

    The other car has some blame but I wouldn’t cite them.

    Dashcam driver is at fault.

    The first car did not signal. The second car did not stop, and there is not a labeled turning lane. So, in my opinion, they should have stayed behind the first car. I could be wrong on the turning lane thing. Different states have different rules.

    Maybe an unpopular take but I’d split liability since Porsche failed to give signal before turning movement that could affect the operation of another vehicle , and failed to safely start or stop on a highway. Camera car failed to heed stop sign. Can’t say if it also failed to give signal since that’s not visible in the video.

    Stop sign never turned green

    If this was in California, the person at fault is the driver of the Mercedes AMG. The dash cam driver failed to stop for the posted stop sign, but that failure to stop was not a factor in the collision. The Mercedes was in an improper position to make a right turn. The dash cam driver is fully allowed to move right of the Porsche and make a right turn.

    edit: it’s a Mercedes AMG, not a Porsche as originally stated

    I just need to correct everyone calling that car a Porsche.

    That’s a Mercedes.

  17. Grannypanie Avatar

    No marked right hand turn lane. Did not stop.

    Video guy was likely found at fault.

  18. JustCallMeSmurf Avatar

    Easily the car with the dash cam that treated one lane like it’s two lanes and ran the stop sign

  19. Acceptable_Shift937 Avatar

    You are at fault. Your job is to stop at stop sign.

  20. boanerges57 Avatar

    Failed to stop vs failed to use a blinker

  21. xShire_Reeve Avatar

    Driver the dash cam is at fault. Not a two lane road.

  22. InsideSummer6416 Avatar

    Yeah the driver in the dash cam decided that since he could try to squeeze in he didn’t have to abide by the way they had the road marked . The is nothing compared to what I’m watching people do with bike lanes and turn lanes

  23. Annual-Struggle-688 Avatar

    Cam car is. No stop. Was a single lane. Just because theres space doesnt mean multiple lanes.

  24. Draken_961 Avatar

    Really? It’s just one lane to begin with. The driver of the vehicle recording is one special kind of being, he clearly belongs in r/idiotsincars

  25. No-Tomatillo4449 Avatar

    It’s definitely the vehicle in motion with the dash cam. Looks like one lane, vehicle stopped at the stop sign has the right of way.

  26. Zlamany-fr Avatar

    Camera car.
    Improper turning
    Rolling stop
    Reckless driving (considerable)

    From an insurance side… even if cant help what they got😭

  27. Infamous_Acadia_3358 Avatar

    Both are at fault. Porsche for not signaling and the dash cam car for not stopping. One broke the law by not stopping and the Porsche needs to pay attention to their surroundings and use a TURNING SIGNAL, No one seems to know what that is anymore in California.

  28. rlcoolc Avatar

    While it is 100% the camera fault, this may have been avoided if the Mercedes driver knew how to use their blinker.

  29. Extra-Account-8824 Avatar

    its absolutely the cammers fault..

    you have to squeeze by a car parked on the street and then barely fit by the car at the stop sign to… save 5 seconds? seriously?

  30. Van_Hattfield Avatar

    The driver of the car taking the video failed to stop at the line before the crosswalk so regardless of where this took place and what may or may not be legal when making a turn, they are at fault.

  31. AssignmentFar1038 Avatar

    If I’m working this wreck I’m indicating on my report that the dash cam driver is the sole contributor and they would get a ticket.

    In my personal experience with insurance companies, the dash cam car’s insurance company will likely try to say that the other driver has a certain percentage of responsibility. They’ll say that the driver should have seen the car that pulled up to their right and that they are responsible for making sure there are no obstructions in their way before making a maneuver.

  32. almostsane1 Avatar

    The person with the cam is at fault.

  33. czechFan59 Avatar

    you are both kinda clueless. 50/50 split

  34. Big-Try-2735 Avatar

    Dashcam guy busted the stop sign. I’d put it on him.

  35. atx_buffalos Avatar

    Why not both?

    1.) There is no turning lane here. I know people do this all the time, but that doesn’t make it ok.
    2.) The dashcam driver didn’t stop. Had they looked left, the would have seen the other car moving.
    3.) The Mercedes is just sitting there with no blinker on. A blinker would have let the other vehicle know of an intention to turn.

  36. imuniqueaf Avatar

    Cammer is at fault, but the Benz is a fucking horrible driver. No signal and driving in oncoming traffic.

  37. Reddit_sox Avatar

    There is one driving lane. What’s the confusion? Video taker at fault 100%

  38. Emergency_Grape1163 Avatar

    Single lane road means you are at fault. Plus never pass on the right

  39. gettheredone Avatar

    Comparable to passing on the shoulder.

  40. AntiSerious80 Avatar

    There was no turning lane. Camera guy’s fault.

  41. HornetGaming110 Avatar

    That is an expensive car to hit

  42. adlr89Toyo Avatar

    I’d say the recording cars driver bc he’s a dick. Didn’t stop and went straight into the cross walk. But it could be 50/50, who stops in the far left of the lane to turn right. They’re just as bad as the folks stopping far right to go left and nobody can pass by them to go right

  43. johnsmth1980 Avatar

    That’s not a two lane road and there is no turning lanes.

  44. smashdev64 Avatar

    It’s a single lane road. You can’t pass on the right on a single lane road. You also must stop at stop signs. This is a very easy call.

  45. gx790 Avatar

    There is absolutely no question about it, the car filming this is 100% at fault. Yes the Mercedes should have had a turn signal on, but regardless everything the vehicle filming did was completely illegal and the complete cause of the accident.

    They never stopped at the stop sign. It is completely illegal for them to pass the Mercedes on the right. It was a single Lane. The Mercedes was not making a left-hand turn, and passing them on the right was completely illegal.

  46. Misha326 Avatar

    1 no signal from car A
    2 stupid driver in car B

    Car B absolutely should have waited behind car A before coming to a complete stop and then making the turn.
    Car A should have had their blinker on to signal their turn either way.

    Both cars should be at fault with more fault % going to car B. I’d say 70% B fault and 30% A fault.

  47. slow_poke57 Avatar

    Front car is at fault for stopping on top of the pedestrian crossing, following car at fault for squeezing in as though there were two lanes, and front car at fault and stupid for following through with an avoidable collision.

  48. No-Touchy666 Avatar

    Yeah there’s not two lanes there one lane.

  49. 500freeswimmer Avatar

    It’s a mutual fault situation. The first vehicle didn’t signal but the second vehicle didn’t stop or look left.

  50. SpaceKalash05 Avatar

    The cam driver. That is clearly a two-lane neighborhood road, and there is no evident turning lane. Meaning the cammer car is required to follow the vehicle in front of them, not go around them. Moreover, they rolled through the stop, rather than actually stopping, and passed on the right. Had they just stopped like they were legally required to, the accident itself likely would not have even occurred.

  51. rip93ford Avatar

    Both of the drivers are at fault. The car at the stop sign made no indication they were turning right, this is determined by no turn signal and being as far left as they can possibly be in their lane. It’s also the driver with the cameras fault because the car ahead of them at the stop sign begins to move prior to them reaching the stop sign. If the driver with the camera had come to a complete stop AND looked both ways like they were supposed to, they’d notice the driver ahead of them making a turn to the right. Just because the car ahead of you is doing something in the wrong, does not allow the second driver to claim ignorance and crash into them.

    Clipping an AMG GT with Matte paint is going to make dashcam person uninsurable.

  53. nccatfan Avatar

    Some forget to get the optional turn signal package? Still the fault of the dashcam dingbat but night have helped prevent the accident
