9:10 Usama must be blind if he says that cyclist came out of nowhere. He was maybe 1-2 car lengths behind him. He just didn't check his mirrors at all, especially because he definitely wasn't in his blind spot. Also Usama actually should be at fault, I pulled this quote directly from the Illinois Gov website: "Check for bicyclists before turning - Yield to bicyclists and do not underestimate their speed. Watch for oncoming bicycle traffic when turning left. Do not pass and then cut in front of a bicyclist when turning right. Check all mirrors and blind spots for bicyclists. " Along with this: "If a motorist is turning right and a bicyclist is approaching on the right, let the bicyclist go through the intersection first before making a right turn. Remember to always signal when turning.." The insurance company just didn't want to accept responsibility and hoped they could get the cyclist to pay instead.

[@h.d.h]

Correct. I looked up the law and saw the same as you. Right turns do not have the right of way. They must yield to all traffic moving straight through an intersection, no matter if the traffic is behind them, to the right, moving perpendicular, etc.

[@kingofengland111]

That looked like a hire bike to me so its possible the rider did actually have some insurance, unless that particular hire company does not provide it. I know in London (UK) most of the bike hires (Santander cycle (Borris Bikes) or Lime) have limited liability insurance that covers you in the event of an incident.

[@gladitsnotme]

If you were correct the biker wouldn't have been found at fault. He did check his mirrors, that biker was 3 cars away and Usama's eyes were probably looking right for pedestrians, as they should be in the middle of turning right. You only look in your mirror before the turn, not the whole time you're turning. You have to look at the road, duh.

[@EQRuges]

@@gladitsnotme you know I wonder if wam bam just said that without knowing. Or if the guy who sent in the video did not tell the truth l. Or the cyclist admitted fault when he should not have. Same with the t bone on the green light. Just because your light is green does not give you the right of way. You have to verify the intersection is clear before proceeding.

I’m surprised the insurance believed the cyclist in Chicago was at fault because the video appears to show him coming down the road in the bike lane the entire time ( he definitely didn’t “come out of nowhere.”) in my opinion, it appears as if the car should’ve waited for the cyclist to clear the bike lane before turning.

[@og_lama]

True

[@benedettoangiolini]

Exactly, the cyclist was on a bike lane and you need to make sure it's clear before turning and passing it through (at least in the UE). I find really odd that the car has 0% responsability in this case since the bike was not going 50 km/h or smth here.

[@JanBruunAndersen]

And from this day on, Usama is a danger to every bicyclist on planet Earth because he is convinced that activating the turn lights give him right of way. So sad.

[@ItsIdaho]

More worried if the cyclist actually got found at fault 100% or if Usama is just saying that. I need an update.

[@jamesaleman]

Bicycling faces the same risks or even greater than motorcyclist. They can have the law on their side, but most people are too inattentive to warrant the risk of doing either activity. I use a bike on trails and would never consider a motorcycle in the age of drivers using their cell phones constantly. Sucks, but mitigating risk leads to longer life. Breaking limbs assuming you survive leads to long term issues especially as you age. Just not worth it in my opinion. Can't tell you how many dead motorcyclists I passed in the years I have driven. Once had a relative in an ICU and most of the patients were head traumas of now disabled motorcyclist. You could not pay me to ride either on a high traffic road. Imagine if she had been closer and he went over her. I doubt he would have "noticed" as he drove over her.

That usually if you’re both stopped and waiting for the light at the same time. Here it seems the cyclist was still behind enough to have been considered having the ability to slow down and wait to avoid the collision.

[@lingtingmodding8302]

he was totally at fault. Aren't you see the turn signal is already on? Also the cyclist didn't seems to slow down when he is approaching the intersection. If he doesn't have the turn signal on then he would be at fault, but this is another case.

[@superfly2nd]

I agree, when changing direction you always have to give way to people already in that lane. It doesn’t matter if that person is behind you, if he has to brake because of you changing lanes or taking a turn, you’re at fault.

[@thotmorgana]

Yes, in the Netherlands a collision between a car and a bike is always by default 100% the car's fault. Only in extreme cases where a cyclist is hitting a parked car it is still the car's fault until both the driver and the biker sign forms stating that it was actually the bikers fault. And only after both sides filled those forms it can be different but unless the biker himself agrees it was his fault it is always the cars fault.

[@WhereWeRoll]

Yeah the car should have waited but since no one ever checks for bikes here you can never count on cars to do the right thing

[@pepstein]

The law here actually puts the car driver at fault in this accident, as the cyclist was going straight in their (bike) lane while the car was turning across the bike lane. Some states require drivers to merge into bike lanes before turning, but few drivers actually do. Other states don’t allow merging into bike lanes at all. In general US bike infrastructure is extremely dangerous for cyclists. We could learn a hell of a lot from you guys. In particular, Dutch intersection design would make it much easier for the driver to see the cyclist in this scenario.

[@ericzielke5044]

I completely agree the vehicle driver was at fault here in the US as well. Usama (the vehicle driver) should have first turned right (with blinker on) in the conflict zone before the bicyclist was even close by and the accident would have been avoided; or he should have properly waited. This is a very common accident between vehicles and bicyclists and is know as a “right-hook.” Wham Baam Teslacam should either correct this video or take it out because clearly the vehicle/ Tesla driver was at fault here.

[@josephveksenfeld5344]

Does cars have the right of way everywhere in the US in similar situations or is that exclusive to some states? It's good to know if I ever decide to ride a bicycle in the US, as I would've done the same as the cyclist in the clip, completely expecting to have the right of way.

[@47f0]

American laws are different - but as horrible as American bike laws are and as awful as general bike acceptance is in traffic - even here, that stunt is completely illegal, and Illinois statute law specifically prohibits that kind of "right hook" maneuver. But all his claims are doubtful - he had his turn signal on - a turn signal that the very shiny Mercedes in front of him never shows the reflection of. The bike came out of nowhere - but that's not what the video shows at all. Given how dubious his other claim are - I doubt the claim about the cyclist being found at fault.

[@amzarnacht6710]

In the first clip why would the police even consider taking the other driver's 'side'? Basic observation would show that the truck *CLEARLY* ran their stop sign simply due to the damage. Truck with the front end crushed and another car with the side caved in makes it pretty cut and dry. If he'd stopped the damage would have been dramatically different and considerably less.

The person on the bike was not pedaling (using it as a bike). Since it is also a motorized bike, he was using a motorized vehicle (i.e. motorcycle) and should have been behind the car. If he was pedaling he would have been able to stop easily and avoided the accident.

[@gunnarparment5050]

I totally agree on that one. I would say Usama is 100% at fault, and that the insurance company made a huge error. At least where I live, Sweden, Europe, you are not allowed to turn without giving way to traffic crossing your way. The green light is for going straight, and as I see it, the cyclist has the rightmost lane, and should be given right of way. (This is unless the intersection is designed with protected right and/or protected left turns, which means green arrows right and/or left, in which case there is no crossing traffic.)

[@bvoyelr]

Some potential context into the second clip. When John slowed down to yield to the dump truck, it was probably enough to activate the brake lights, leading the trucker to think he'd just been brake checked (to say nothing of the fact that he slowed down in the left lane while being tailgated). Doesn't excuse the response, but it probably explains it.

You are completely correct. Generally, anytime your vehicle crosses or merges into a lane, you are responsible for ensuring the lane is clear. Illinois law goes a step further, clarifying that this type of "right hook" is specifically illegal for bike lanes. ALL this guy's claims are dodgy - the video he submitted claims he had his turn signal on (doesn't matter - turn signals don't void all other laws) but the very shiny Mercedes in front of him shows his front lights - and doesn't show a turn signal. Must be a special kind of Tesla turn signal blocking Mercedes wax. He also claims the bike came out of nowhere - precisely what the video doesn't show. The video shows the cyclist legally riding in the bike lane. I bet if we had the previous ten seconds of video, we'd see the Tesla passing the cyclist before illegally cutting him off.

Usama is totally at fault here, He was ahead of the cyclist but apparently did not cover (block) the bike lane when he made his right hand turn. This allowed the cyclist to catch up to him when he was making the turn. Turning traffic has to yield to traffic going straight. In my town there was an accident in which Usama's role was a semi tractor and long trailer. Yes the cyclist was crushed to death by the rear wheels of the trailer. The bike is one of those rental bike and I'm sure they have insurance. This is a very preventable accident on Usama's part.

[@isimvol]

I think it's because the bicycle lane ended before the crossing, so the cyclist had to behave like a car - they can't overtake on the right and had to wait for the car to turn. The pedestrian's light was also flashing, meaning you can't start crossing..

[@pepstein]

@@MrPomo2 in some states (eg CA) drivers are required to merge into the bike lane to block it before turning right. In others (eg OR) they’re not allowed to do that. I don’t know Illinois law on this. Either way turning cars are required to yield to traffic in the bike lane, as you pointed out.

[@berenscott8999]

In Australia, when making a turn which goes over a bike lane, you are required to head check and give way to the bike. So, it's the reverse of what happened in your video. We have well marked green bike lanes, and cars are required to give way to any bike traffic on them. It's annoying as hell, especially on this one road where 50+ bikes all love to ride, and the traffic is all taking a left turn at a roundabout. (we drive on the left, so think of it as a right turn similar to the one in the video)

It's the same in the U.S. - and in the case of Chicago, Illinois statute law specifically prohibits this type of "right hook" maneuver. His other claims are dodgy, too.

#8, the cyclist: The dashed lines separating the bike lane from normal lanes at a light are there for a reason. The way the law reads in CA you are *required* to take that space before making a turn specifically to prevent this. Also...."they came out of no where" is the laziest excuse possible and I hate how often people use it. It wasn't a wizard materializing himself, it was a guy on a bike. You just didn't look.

[@47f0]

I don't see that Illinois statute law has the same "occupy the lane" notion - but it does specifically prohibit this type of "right hook" maneuver. And I wish I could remember the state - not one I'd expect, maybe Tennessee or Kentucky, but "I didn't see him/her" is no longer a "get out of jail free" card - it's an admission of guilt.

9:18 clearly shows how far back the cyclist was. There is no requirement to make sure the bike lane is completely clear. Where does that end? What if someone is half a mile away? You have to wait for them to catch up and pass first? Your argument makes no sense. The driver signaled, there was no cyclist in his blind spot area, so he turned. Cyclist has to yield

@@kuruptzZz not sure what your highway code says but all traffic moving forward, especially vulnerable traffic such as pedestrians and cyclists have right of way in the UK, I'm assuming it's the same in other European countries too. From what I've read in comments it's the same in America but could be wrong. In this case the car should have yielded. The cyclist wasn't many car lengths back when the driver started the turn, having a turn signal on doesn't instantly mean they can turn without checking for incoming obstacles. you should only ever perform the manoeuvre when it's safe to do so. Not without properly checking your mirrors. He would have failed a driving test I gaurentee this.

@@ntd663 Not to mention every state has different laws for cyclists.

It's very confusing. Not to mention some states say bikes can have the full lane and some states say you only have to be 3 feet away when you're passing them. Its very confusing

[@JanBruunAndersen]

I think it is that way in most civilised countries (which would exclude the USA). In general, every time you change direction/lane, or go from one type of surface to another (e.g. crossing a section of cobble stone, sidewalk, bicyclist road, the vehicle crossing has to unconditionally give way to other traffic.

U.S. is pretty barbaric compared to much of Europe when it comes to cycling, but.. No - Tesla was 100% wrong here, and Illinois statute law specifically prohibits exactly this kind of "right-hook" situation. The video is pretty fishy. The Tesla guy lied about a couple of things - the cyclist absolutely did not "come out of nowhere" as the Tesla cam clearly shows. He claims he had his turn signal on - (doesn't clear him of a violation, but) - his turn signal is the kind that is magically not reflected in the very shiny Mercedes in front of him. This whole clip makes several very dubious claims. Enough so that I doubt that any finding of guilt actually fell on the cyclist.

[@mowburnt]

Seriously impressive accident protection offered by the Tesla in the first clip

[@morrij01]

How was the cyclist at fault? He didn't come out if nowhere and was using the dedicated bike lane. The car driver would be found at fault 100% of the time here.

[@officerahmo]

Exactly.

[@JeresCorner]

My thoughts exactly. Other comments here say the cyclist is supposed to stop at the intersection too and to yield to the telsa with the active turn signal. But that's not how it is in Oklahoma. Can't speak for other states. As for coming out of nowhere... No he was clearly visible in the repeater cam and therefore probably in the mirror.

[@47f0]

This clip makes several dodgy claims - First - Illinois law specifically prohibits this kind of "right-hook" situation. Second - Tesla guy had his turn signal on - but he has special turn signals that can't be reflected in the very shiny Mercedes in front of him. The Mercedes that reflects his other lights just fine. Third - The mysterious inter-dimensional bike from nowhere - which in the side camera, appears to be a cyclist properly riding in a lane where you might reasonably expect to find cyclists. Sort of like finding a bus from nowhere in a bus lane. Given his other sketchy statements - I doubt the cyclist was found at fault, anyway.

[@robertheitner1534]

Usama who hit the bicycle with his blinker on turning right, shame on Tesla. On my 2021 Kia, at a stop sign with my right blinker on, when a bicycle came up on my right, the Kia sounded an alarm that it was unsafe to turn. My nephew, who has a model 3, said Teslas should do that, but do not.

Ok, I haven't seen anyone else bring this up in all of the Teslacam videos I have watched, but it is the elephant in the room. WHY are Tesla cams so crappy? The contrast, color (and sometimes resolution) is far worse than even a cheap dashcam. It is like looking though Vaseline and cataracts combined. If I had to pay the premium price for an EV (and I will concede that Tesla's are about the best, if not THE best, of current EVs out now) I fully expect the built in cams to be of much better quality than these currently are. And we KNOW that quality imagers (the heart of all electronic cams) are very inexpensive now. C'mon Elon, you can make reusable space vehicles but a decent quality camera isn't in your flagship product line? Edited to add: I do love this channel, and the concept of the Tesla cams is great, just fix the damn image quality!

[@abblepc]

I often wonder this myself. I think it may also be partly due to original resolution is much higher but when uploaded or saved it decreases in resolution and or gains artifacts from any conversions or uploading processes. Plus then you have the channel creator may also need to change resolution to match his video base standard before editing and merging all of this content into one video and uploading to KZbin.

I dont want a Tesla car (maybe a truck, if they'd ever do a compact ev truck) but respect for the quality and level of recording they can provide! It will reduce the insurance claims for sure! Well before I had a dash cam (and why I later got one) this lady ran a red light and smashed the front fender of my car, pushing the front suspension in. And then tried to run, I was able to drive with three good wheels in my Subaru and caught up to her in half a block- her car was starting to fall apart, so she accepted defeat. She said, "OMG, I was just trying to beat the yellow and you went early!" Well, she 100% failed that one... and I had a green for a bit, because the coworker behind me saw the whole thing, but also she would have t-boned me if I didn't come to a complete and kept going! When the cop got there, he said, "She claims you jumped the green light AND didn't make sure the intersection was clear. I mean, the guy behind you said the same as you, that the female ran the red, but since you both work together... well, you see what position im in. I think you didn't make sure the intersection was clear when you entered." I nearly laughed at him. I had NO damage on the front of my car, I had the green light and she steered straight into me. I got a call from her insurance company like a week later, they offered a 50/50 fault split. I said NO WAY should a person running a red light (one which was long red) be only kinda at fault, especially when she was trying to flee! I said, she might have been drinking and didn't want to deal with the police either and I have a witness! So I informed my insurance company they were looking to pin half on me and what I told them. Her insurance paid out, but only 6 months later. it would have been so much clearer with a dash cam. Fast forward 15 years and a distracted driver ran into my side on a roundabout (didn't see me already on the roudnabout) and because I'm an immigrant American in Ireland, he blamed me and the police officer said, "with what the other guy said and without the footage, it would be likely a 50/50 fault, but your dash cam makes is very clear he wasn't looking or signalling... I love it!" He rang me a couple months later to ask what model it was and what my configuration was. He wanted it to upgrade his cruiser! haha

[@TomEugelink]

Number 8 with the peugeot is interesting, and illustrates exactly why I prefer the way the traffic lights are setup here in Europe, even if they are harder to see when you are in the first spot of the waiting queue. Over here traffic lights function as a 'gate', situated at the end (or start - depending how you look at it) of the lane they are intended for. You pass under or next to them as you enter the cross section. So there is no doubt what so ever for which lane they are intended.

Yeah I'm from europe, the netherlands actually(we have more bikes per person here) and i was thinking it was strange the cyclist is at fault or that he "came out of nowhere". Here, and generally europe it's taught when turning to check your inside mirror, outside mirror, and blind spot before turning even before putting your indicator on and then once again when you're about to turn, just to be safe.

[@47f0]

America actually has more bikes than people. Oh wait a second - I meant guns. However - as barbaric as America is, especially when considering bike laws and bike acceptance in general, Illinois statute law specifically prohibits this kind of "right hook" violation. The whole video is sketchy - he claims his turn indicator was on (doesn't matter - a turn signal is not a free pass to do anything illegal), but the very shiny Mercedes in front of him only shows his running lights - no trace of a turn signal. His claim about the cyclist coming out of nowhere is definitely doubtful - if we had the previous ten seconds of video, we would have seen the Tesla passing the cyclist, legally riding in his lane. Given how weak his first two claims are - I doubt the cyclist was found at fault.
