But the tesla need to be better at driving... He cut off the retired ambulance and lied about zipper merge when there was no zipper merge... There is no lane ending and it continues as an exit lane off the highway... Tesla road the exit lane and cut someone off and trying to call it a zipper merge.

[@jeskli11]

I don't know the rules in the US, but in Europe to legally use the zipper merge parallel driving needs to be fulfilled, which in this case wasn't (although it's a bit questionable…). That would mean the submitter cut the van driver off and was technically at fault for the initial maneuver. However, what the van driver did afterwards was without a discussion inappropriate and dangerous behaviour.

[@alexclement7221]

He hardly "cut off" the van; there was a good amount of space, and traffic was heavy. If you can't accept that heavy traffic means closer merges, then you should park your car and take the bus. Having a temper-tantrum and using your vehicle to assault somebody is road-rage, and should be punished with jail time.

[@ialsoagree1634]

@@ShinyMooTank You seem confused. A lane ending is not a requirement for a merge. If you don't want to exit, you are allowed to merge. It is true that a vehicle already in a lane has right of way - just because you need to merge doesn't give you right of way to do so. You, as the person trying to enter another lane, are obligated to make sure there is sufficient room to enter that lane without causing an accident or interfering with traffic that is already in that lane. All that being said, Lawrence clearly had room to enter the lane. There was more than a car's length of free space and while the van behind him did use the brakes, it's also pretty evident the van was speeding up to try to stop the merge, so Lawrence wasn't interfering with traffic either. But this is all secondary. Even if Lawrence had violated traffic laws by merging, it doesn't give the van permission to ram his vehicle. The moment the other vehicle drove over a solid line and then proceeded to turn into the Tesla, the van driver was 100% at fault for the resulting accident.

#6 Most states it is illegal to change lanes at or very near an intersection for this very reason. In Minnesota, the work truck and trailer would most likely be at fault.

[@xsleep1]

Actually there are only around 9 states where changing lanes in an intersection is mentioned and in four of the nine (CA, TX, NJ, and NY) it's legal with the remaining stating it's illegal (includes FL and OH). Like most states Virginia and Minnesota have no mention of this being illegal. That not saying it's ever a good idea since "unsafe lane changes" are illegal everywhere.

[@traffic.engineer]

@@xsleep1 and right turn on red NEVER has the right of way in ANY state.

Virginia doesn't have a law specifically for this. The work truck did turn on their turn signal and also began crossing after passing the solid line. Most likely, it's the SUV at fault.

1:01 - I had the same thing happen to me. A left turn is a “zero priority” maneuver. To make a left turn you are basically saying that nothing will go wrong when you make the left turn. If anything does go wrong, you are at fault, even if another car that you hit (or hits you) is running a red light. A left turn has to yield to ALL oncoming traffic legal or illegal.

[@davidvanderbyl4015]

Not true. Running a red puts you at fault. You do not have the right of way like you do under a yellow.

[@jeremiahsmith5900]

There's too much ambiguity with left turns that don't have a dedicated turn signal. There would be significantly less accidents like this if more intersections relied on left turn signals instead of "go when you think it's clear"

#7: you cannot change lanes in an intersection for a reason. the truck with the trailer should be at fault.

[@SeanBZA]

Right on red in an accident is still classed as red light running, so will get a good chunk of the blame still, as after all they deliberately disregarded a lawful instruction to stop, and did not check the intersection was clear before entering.

[@gavnonadoroge3092]

The whole loose shopping cart problem still baffles me. Where I live and ever since I can remember shops use a system where you need to use a coin or a chip that cost a couple bucks to unlock your cart, and when you're done shopping, if you want your coin/chip back you need to return the cart and lock it in place. No more loose shopping carts.

[@calyodelphi124]

That's just not a thing here in the United States. It's a very common system across Europe, yes, and it is very effective at incentivizing people to return their shopping carts, but I remember when an Aldi (they're a German-based supermarket chain, for the yanks in the crowd who don't yet know where it's from) first moved into the town I grew up near, and when I found out that they did that, I was like "WHAT!?!?!?" Like, it came as an absolute complete shock to me that a business would even DO that. Charge customers to use the shopping carts. Outrageous!! 😤 Of course, I didn't hear the second half of that, where you get your quarter back for returning the shopping cart, until years later...

[@dav8388]

Just shows how lazy American's are. I am American and it pisses me off that people can't be bothered to move the cart 20 feet to a cart corral.

[@andrasbiro3007]

And I've seen shopping carts with brakes, where you had to push the bar slightly down to unlock them. It's a little more expensive solution, but solvers the problem for good. It was in Austria like 30 years ago, I don't know if they are still in use. Another solution I saw in Sweden is to give a little stamp for each returned cart, which you can collect and exchange for a little money. It's a bit convoluted, but this way you don't need a coin to use the cart, and children are happy to collect them afterwards for the money.

[@amzarnacht6710]

And easily defeated by sticking an appropriately sized washer in the slot and simply walking away after using it. See this all the time at the local Aldi's (washers, coins, keys, screwdrivers)

[@marquisdemoo1792]

Part of the difference is caused by people stealing shopping carts, hence the need to put a deposit coin in them that is released when properly stacked. In the UK for instance, supermarkets are usually in town and close to where people live, especially social housing areas, so they would simply steal the cart to take their shopping home. In the USA you usually have to drive to the supermarket hence no need to steal the cart.

[@adriennegormley9358]

Yes in the UK orange means red so for me the Tesla driver should of been at fault , the Toyota driver was just going because they thought it would of been safe to do so esp with how long it was on orange for, if he waited longer the Toyota would probably been smashed by a driver going across

[@junyizou5943]

But the handbook says for unprotected left turns, you should only proceed when the light turns red or until there's no upcoming traffic.

[@jonathanlanglois2742]

The question that I have about those cart corral is why there isn't a small bump at the exit to prevent them from going wild. Just about every shopping center in my city has something to stop them from leaving the corral. It really does not take much, and considering all of the insurance claims that they are likely getting, it definitely would save them money.

Especially if commuting. All in all, you can't always judge quickly if it's better to let the original accident happen or not.

I think it's like 40 percent of traffic crashes automatically blame Daniele for it, because he didn't strike Grandpa right in the face when he was committing three illegal activities. Wrong Way, Failure to Yield the Right of Way, and Public Endangerment. If you don't strike Grandpa in the face and you evade and almost kill the pedestrian on the sidewalk, Daniele gets the full blame for that if the cops don't use the Teslacam Footage in court showing Grandpa committing the three crimes.

In drivers courses this is taught of course, "stop if you can" however the law needs a much more rigid definition. The rigid definition is your front bumper must be in the intersection (in AZ that means past the curb of the intersecting road, as an example, it is not the crosswalk) before the light turns red, otherwise you are considered running a red light. She was more than half way through the intersection before the light changed. Side note: this is why the person turning left needs to wait, as they have already entered the intersection and therefore will not be running a red light after waiting for the oncoming traffic to have a full red and stop.

Actually no, it means the light is about to turn red. That doesn't mean stop, it means you need to use your judgment whether you should stop or not. (Did it just turn yellow, do you have to brake hard to stop, then don't. If it's been yellow for a while then stop.)

Regarding trailer changing lanes in an intersection, That depends on local laws, where i live, it is illegal to change lanes in intersection so this would be an easy case.

[@UTubeRangerBob]

It's illegal in most states, usually with a 100ft rule, and in states where it is not illegal, it depends on whether you had a broken or solid lane line before the intersection. In this video the lines were solid going into the intersection so you are to assume the solid lane line carries through the intersection and you are not allowed to change lanes.

[@JohnDoe-bd5sz]

I would think that the rules in Germany is the same as in my neighboring coutry. You are not allowed to cross the line unless you can do it without being in someones way. Here they teach new students taking driving lessons to treat the white line as a "Unconditional yield". The traffic in the lane always have the right of way, and you are not allowed to change lanes if it impedes other drivers. Only change lanes when it is safe to do so. That being said, the truck should not overtake at all, they are all allowed to do the same speed so when they do overtake it is usually only 1-2 kph faster than the truck they overtake, as the trucks are electronically limited.

The contestants have a split second to make a choice of where to go. The goal of the show is to learn how to drive properly and not be the last person remaining at the end of the season.

[@fergusontea]

The fact that the driver chose to evade directly towards a pedestrian shows their lack of awareness of their surroundings. In that case, they should have either gone to the left or hit the other car to spare the pedestrian injury, as the pedestrian is completely vulnerable.

[@mactep1]

@@fergusontea No one is able to make a split second decision like that, unless you go trough some sort of specialized training, she was already mentally prepared to turn right a bit further ahead and was paying attention to the road, not the sidewalk, as anyone should; she got jump-scarred by the oncoming car, veered, and then saw the pedestrian.

The only thing I can think about with #17, is because of road design and infrastructure an innocent pedestrian almost died. I would say the person at fault here is the person that designed this murder-machine of a stroad. Yes, the elderly woman shouldn't have U-turned, yes, swerving is natural, but build roads properly and this won't happen - or at least not as freqently.

[@sensiblewheels]

7:54 Nope. Oliver is wrong in assuming he's at fault. The recommended speed means nothing and there are cars that do well over 160 miles per hour regularly. It's entirely the trucks fault and must be dealt with as such. (Court mandated safety lessons for the truck driver). Simply because it's pretty rare for such a thing to happen.

[@gutturf]

#7: It depends on the state. In many if not most states, it is illegal to change lanes in an intersection but at least some allow it.

[@TheSaintBigFoot]

Canada has this law

[@spacemanmat]

@@traffic.engineerthis accident shows why it should be a law.

[@traffic.engineer]

@@spacemanmat Absolutely not. Drivers must learn that right turn on red is not obligatory because they have ZERO right of way. The mainline has the green and must be allowed access to all lanes to safely clear the intersection. The same applies when accessing a road without signal control or private driveway. It is the approach with the stop control that must determine when it is safe to access the road.

[@ken90004]

I think the SUV just misjudged her turn. She MUST yield the right away to traffic. Their fault no doubt. The trailer had signaled, so she should see that, and not attempted. The trailer was fully in the lane when the impact occurred. What it looks like to me, is SUV driver was going to try to slip in behind the trailer, but was likely watching traffic instead of her turn, and she tried to make her turn a few seconds too early.

10:55 the pickup driver changed lanes mid intersection, which is a no no. Also right before the intersection each lane has a solid white line which would make the truck driver at fault, no?

[@lahoorah]

#7: It's illegal to change lanes in an intersection in the US because of this reason. The truck w/trailer is 110% at fault.

[@jp1087]

It's perfectly legal in many places all over the US. Local municipalities and individual states set the rules regarding changing lanes in intersections. Nevertheless, right on red is permitted, not required. That SUV should have waited for a longer break in both the middle lane and right lane before pulling into the road, or just waited until their light turned green.

[@scoutsguitar8524]

#7 I would absolutely say they were both at fault, but if we are saying who is fully at fault, it would definitely be the work truck. First off, the SUV made a completely legal maneuver by making a right on red when the lane was clear, there was no one in the lane, so they were allowed to do so. Second off, it is illegal to make a lane change inside, or within 100 feet of an intersection to avoid incidents like this. While that isn’t a law in every state, and I don’t believe it is in Virginia, the law in Virginia states that you may only change lanes in an intersection “While it is *Safe* to do so.” The SUV can be clearly seen to have been making the right on red before the work truck started to move over, so therefore it was not safe for the work truck to change lanes, especially because of the fact that he had plenty of time to see the SUV was turning and back out of the move. The SUV of course saw their lane was clear and started to turn while watching for traffic in the same lane. I highly doubt the SUV expected the truck to change lanes in the intersection since it is so far frowned upon, making it so they weren’t looking for the work truck or expecting them to be there, so they didn’t have time to react to the move. Therefore I would give the work truck more of the blame, if not all of the blame.

SUV is 100% liable for violating the trailer's right of way on green. Right turn on red has ZERO right of way.

#8 the pickup truck driver that locked his wheels and skidded into the barrier; ignoring that "ABS" light has consequences. If their ABS system wasn't showing a warning and they were using all OEM equipment, then they (or the NHTSA) may be able to sue the vehicle manufacturer for a defective ABS system because a proper functioning one would never have allowed that to happen.

#20 took place in California. People commenting on yellow light rules need to understand they vary from state to state, and they may of course be different in other countries too. California does not require stopping for a yellow when it is safe to do so, although it is still advised in their driver handbook.

[@bubzilla6137]

Number 20, the first clip, if you pause at 0:20, the moment the light turned yellow, it looks like she had tons of time to safely stop. So much, in fact, that I would argue it was not legal to run that one. Even with the second camera at 0:22, she appears to have enough time and space to safely stop. The second one looks like less but still enough. This looks like one of those really too hard to call yellow light situations. But if the law cleared her I guess she's good. 🙂

[@verygoodbrother]

Exactly, reckless driving. It's legal to cross when the lights are yellow but from reading the USA traffic rules it states the yellow lights are "a sign that the red signal is about to appear. When you see the yellow light, you should stop, if you can do so safely. If you can't stop, proceed with caution, looking out for other vehicles that may enter the intersection."

[@ialsoagree1634]

If you watch the very last camera angle at the end of #20, you'll see that the light turns red a solid 2-3 seconds after the impact. While I agree she had time to stop, in many states you are not under any obligation to stop when a light turns yellow. In many states, you can freely enter an intersection under a yellow light. Had she not been hit, she would have cleared the intersection before it turned red. So while she could have stopped, she obviously knew the light well enough to know she could make it through the intersection before it turned red, and she was likely legally allowed to do so.

[@-Nevaex-]

She also had enough time to continue going through the light, which is exactly what she did. She had right of way regardless of how you feel

[@Imolos]

I agree If she would be like right before yea go ahead but she had enough time to slow down. The other driver is at fault. But I would be surprised if he is pissed at her.

#7 is fault of truck and trailer. It's illegal in most (all?) states to change lanes inside the intersection. Add to that most state laws also require 3-seconds of signal before changing lanes.

[@roborbio5184]

3:36 I’m from Italy, and most of the roads that are for industrial use in the outer part of the city (judging by the company name on the wall that Daniele hit) don’t have any clear road markings on the asphalt itself due to them wearing out over time and not being repainted, so it might actually have been a double way road… BUT 45mph, which is approximately 80kmph is above the usual speed limit of those areas, which is 60kmph (about 35mph), sometimes going as low as 30kmph (about 20mph). So at least for me, he was in the wrong either way

[@colincampbell3679]

To solve the shopping cart wandering problem they just should do what our lot do in the UK, have a auto brake on the cart which as you let go of the cart bar it auto locks the brake then when you hold the brake band under the carts pulling bar with your closed hand the brake let's go! And also we have a chain system that holds all the un-used carts together in the cart area, you have to undo the chain by pushing in a £1 coin to unlock the chain section your cart handle has from the next cart and you get the coin back when you push the cart back to the cart area and clip back in the chain in the handle. two ways to stop the cart escaping.

It doesnt matter if there is 1 turning lane or 2, you never cross multiple lanes of travel at once. You are required to wait and look again before moving into the second lane even if you are coming from a 1 lane 1 way to a 6 lane bi-way you always turn into the closest lane. If you are in the second turn lane you turn into the second closest lane and for gods sake give the first lane some room especally if theres a semi (semi's are always supposed to turn from the second lane but sometimes that just doesnt work out.) Dont be a dumbass, turn into the same lane you turn out of aka the closest lane. You might be turning right on red when the traffic across from you has a green left arrow. Also if a line is solid do not cross it, double solid yellow and you want to turn left out of a parking lot? turn the fuck right like you're supposed to. The only time's you are ever allowed to cross a solid line is to get onto or off of the shoulder or if it has a dotted line next to it such as a shared left turn lane.

10:50 is a hard one (and is likely dependent on the state) but I would argue that the truck with the trailer is primarily responsible. Some states have laws which dictate that you should not change lanes in an intersection (specifically due to this). The truck should have waited until they cleared the intersection to change lanes. Additionally the truck failed to properly indicate. You should indicate no less than 5 seconds before making a lane change.
