UNSOLVED TESLA CRASH BAFFLES THE POLICE

[@DaveQZ85]

Considering the Mercedes made an illegal move going into the intersection and the Prius was in the actual lane, it should be the Mercedes’ fault. The Mercedes is not a bike. How is it 2 months and the police still can’t determine fault?

[@AveragePicker]

@@Playingwithproxies You could just as easily say if the Tesla hadn't made an illegal turn, the Mercedes wouldn't have had a problem. The instruction is Left Turn Yield. It doesn't say Left Turn Yield Unless You Can Go Fast Enough Because the Other Driver Is Being Slower Off the Line Than You Would Like.

[@risingphoenix1335]

In some places, fault is actually determined by who had the last chance to prevent the collision. In this case, the Mercedes most likely had the ability to stop in time, or at least slow down , while Hiren was in the middle of the turn and had no such ability. If not using that rule, the Mercedes is still at fault. How would Hiren expect the Mercedes driver to go through the bike lane, which is illegal? The Prius was still stopped, so he did follow the sign to yield for that car. If you closely watch the video, Hiren starts his turn while the Mercedes is sill behind the Prius, either looking like it was going to stop behind the Prius or rear end it. I guess Hiren could take some fault for not yielding to a car that was in a not-legal lane, but the Mercedes should take at least 75% of the blame.

[@GreenDriveIndia]

That's right, as car in front of merc created a blind spot, merc should have more careful doing that maneuver

[@davidhorizon8401]

I agree. It is the Mercedes fault.

[@qinelenleawatanabe2162]

Actually one better......in most if not all states it is illegal to pass on the right on all roads...thus making the mercedes driver completely at fault not only for the the pass but he was also completely in the bicycle lane when he did it which is another infraction in a lot o US states...not to mention the Mercedes was passing at an intersection - another no no {No comment for other countries, as each country as their own rules on incidents like this} The officer investigating should have caught all of these and started writing tickets for the stupidity involved

Ugh yeah! Can’t relate given I own a small sedan, but I’m very possessive of my property. No touch! As a kid I rode my bike to a neighborhood party. I caught my brother’s friend leaning on the kickstand side of my bike. I told him to get off and stay away from it. He ignored me, I heard a sound. Unsurprisingly my bike fell. Caused a hole in the handlebar grip. Fine, whatever. However, this bike had gears. On the opposite side from the kickstand. Next time I rode it, went up hill and changed to a lower gear. That fall had damaged the gears, and when I changed the wheel locked up. Got it repaired. Years later I started riding it a lot and very hard, and that issue arose again. So yeah. Same principle lol, just not a car. Yes I’m still bitter, and it has to have been at least 10 years

[@roberts.wilson1848]

If the cops didn't make the mercedes 100% guilty, clearly those cops are incompetents or have been bribed by someone connected to the mercedes side. The mercedes wasn't on a lane, he made an illegal move being on the green path. Lets assume he was on the mandatory right turn lane, but he went forward throught he intersection. 100% mercedes fault!

[@WilC379]

Since we're assuming, let's assume the Prius was broken down and the Mercedes was driving around the disabled vehicle in the empty bike lane. Now it's the responsibility of the Tesla to yield to oncoming traffic, which he failed to do.

[@ricardon8869]

Since this was in ca, the Mercedes can argue that the car in front was not moving and they only moved to the bike lane momentarily; the tesla failed to yield regardless if the traffic was moving or not. The driver wasn’t patient. Neither were, but if we’re going per ca rules then Tesla is at fault

[@bird266]

@@ricardon8869 Also consider that the act of driving around the Prius created a blind spot for the Mercedes in the form of the Prius. So blind spot rules apply here.

[@JJSmith1100]

There is no doubt that the Mercedes driver is 100% at fault. He broke the law and that is what caused the accident. Even if the Prius was broken down he would have had to stop behind it and then, after making sure it was safe to do so, use his indicator and slowly and safely passed the Prius. The Tesla driver in all probability could not even see the Mercedes since it was behind the Prius from his point of view.

[@AveragePicker]

Left Turn Yield on Green. You could completely see the approaching traffic and your reaction time at a light over another driver does not negate the instruction to yield. Half the reason for yielding is because cars are crossing the intersection regardless of if you like how they are crossing or not.

[@mactep1]

With taxes and 'airport rental fees' it can be even higher. Some policies or local laws around the world require the at fault driver's insurance provide the same or a similar car if at all possible, so that's going to be way more expensive.

The repair costs are absolutely wild for these teslas.

[@markbeiser]

A big part of it is price gouging by "Tesla Certified" repair shops that have limited competition. Then again, collision repairs on any modern cars can be quite expensive due to all of the sacrificial crash structures involved... Even relatively minor fender benders can "total" a modern car if there is full airbag deployment. Personally, I'd rather have the car be totaled and to walk away from a crash alive, with no serious injuries, than leave behind an inexpensively repairable car.😉

In the first clip, the Prius driver was being courteous and allowing him to make his turn. The Mercedes, coming from behind the Prius conducted a pass on the right and through a bike lane, both of which are illegal actions. If I were writing the tickets, they'd all land in the lap of the Mercedes driver.

[@AveragePicker]

Another driver being "courteous" (and personally I think they were just slow to react) doesn't negate your responsibility. We see that later in the video where the person turns left through a line of cars. Someone waves you to go, you better double down on your alertness. The point of the yield is for traffic passing through the intersection, doesn't matter if they are passing through it in a way you like or not.

[@lynnb-TruckCastreauJr]

@@AveragePicker That was single-lane traffic, so the Mercedes acted illegally. It has nothing to do with like or dislike of his driving. He had NO business passing on the right, where a traffic lane didn't even exist. Let me know when you're driving so that I can stay home to avoid your stupidity.

[@AveragePicker]

@redrider7730 It doesn't matter if they used it or the right lane. The instruction is to yield on green. The scenario where there's no accident is where the tesla yields. If the Mercedes crossed and turned right, they have hit as well. And when driving you should expect the unexpected. If he'd probably yielded, no accident.

1:31 - I would say the merc is at fault. The prius wasn't proceeding, so it was safe for Hiren to make the left turn. The merc did an illegal overtake, not only passing on the right, but driving in the bike lane to do so - in California, the only time you may enter the bike lane while driving is to make a right turn/to enter a driveway. The merc was very clearly not making a right turn there, unless it was trying to do so by understeering into either parked cars, a light pole, or the apartment complex. It could be argued with defensive driving principles that Hiren should've floored it to get out of the merc's path, but at the same time this would not be an issue if the merc wasn't pretending to be a bike.

[@amzarnacht6710]

First segment: 70% Mercedes, 30% Tesla. Yes, the Tesla was expected to yield to oncoming traffic - NOT turning traffic. The Mercedes was A- Speeding. B- Utilizing a bicycle lane. C- Utilizing a right turn only lane for through travel. D- Failed to use turn signals (unsafe lane change). E- Reckless driving. Ergo, as the preponderance of action on the part of the mercedes causes the resulting collision they should carry the greater liability for the collision. The Tesla driver should then sue them in civil court to recoup their 30% responsibility (failure to yield to through traffic, legal or otherwise) and 2x costs to repair their vehicle.

[@SableDrakon]

In the first clip, the Merc is at fault. Over-taking in the bike lane and going straight on a right-only puts the Merc at fault.

[@wylieecoyote]

I am a retired accident reconstructionist for a PD and in most states you cannot be expected to yield to a vehicle breaking the law. In Hiren's case the MB would be at fault because it passed on the right, in a right turn only lane and crossing into a bike lane. Hiren cannot be expected to know the other driver would break the law and yield to it or no traffic would move. If he struck the Prius, it would have been different. I would have cited the MB driver for passing on the right, failure to obey a traffic control device (right turn only sign and bike lanes), improper passing and failure to control speed to avoid collision.

[@shwn4922]

#15 50/50 fault, they both broke the law which caused an accident. Hiren should not have even considered turning even if the Prius didn’t move, which is why it would be failure to yield. The Mercedes made an illegal overtake.

15 - The turkey in the Mercenary Bends in the bike lane was definitely at fault and had broken laws to do so. Why aren't the police OR the insurance agents able to solve this simple puzzle? He was either in the bike lane, the right turn only lane, or both.

[@kimmathis1945]

1:30 The signs says yield for any traffic, not yield only for vehicles supposed to be in the bike lane…

The single most important thing I've learned from watching your channels is that Tesla's are Fragile. You can praise their power and features all you want but they are like a boxer with a glass jaw, one good hit and they're down for the count.

You do know that the more of the kinetic energy a car can absorb through deformation and so on, the less kinetic energy you as a driver will be subjected to. The whole idea is to make the car absorb the energy to protect you. It is a lot easier to get another car, than it is to get another you. So yeah, the car sustains a lot of damage, which could be viewed as "The car being weak" but in reality it is the car "protecting the people inside". Might also be why the Model Y has the best EURO NCAP rating of all cars ever tested right now.

@@JohnDoe-bd5sz I understand that but a car that suffers $20k+ in damages from a minor fender bender does not inspire confidence in the quality of its construction.

@@JohnDoe-bd5sz Most if not all modern cars have crumple zones designed to take damage so the occupant doesn't. However, only Tesla's are totaled after a minor bump or scratch.

[@alphamaccao5224]

Yeah no you're a bloody fool. EVERY modern car has crumple zones, EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM. But only tesla cars are so horrifically overpriced in every one of their replacement parts that a light fucking bump could risk it being marked as totalled. @@JohnDoe-bd5sz

Congratulations 🎉 900k is a real milestone. 🎉 as for the first video it depends on the state. Where I am there is NO use of bike lanes.

i WAS here at 9 minutes after this vid was posted. i watched the vid first before commenting tho

[@WaddickLawnCare]

No body cares

[@driverben8604]

For the first clip, all parties involved share responsibility for the accident. Tesla for failure to yield right-of-way (even though rational people will proceed when whoever has the right-of-way will not go), the Mercedes for utilizing an improper pathway, and the Prius for impeding at a green light

[@brucefread3014]

8:57 Wheels on the ground so no flying involved. Try using the word "speeding".

[@Benjamin_999]

4:06 Dallas, California 💀

[@paveltolz6601]

#1 Lawyer Up. Hardly incomprehensible as to which driver was at fault...unless it's California where the cops seemingly aren't allowed to enforce laws w/o first employing a sensitivity officer.

3:59 Gasoline/Petrol costs USD$5.49/US-Gal. that is $3 MORE per gallon then other parts of US where it is UNDER $2.49 (e.g. OK, MO)

#6 how is the jeep not at fault there? was the person in the right lane speeding?

[@ElectricGlider2016]

The Jeep was at fault

[@rsearchtim]

Seems like it would be a benefit to have all your videos with somewhere to see date timestamps. The reason I say this is several times you mention (if you have any info about clip X).

[@aquaventus]

If the prius hit him, then it would be his fault for not yielding first. But it was the Merc that came out of nowhere, on the wrong lane. 999% on the Merc.

[@brucefread3014]

0:46 Didn't come out of nowhere. Came down the street. Is the street in nowhere? 3:44 Tires still on the ground, definitely not flying. 5:00 She was probably thinking that this piece of shit isn't paying road tax that is included in the price of gasoline. Good work.

[@nightmare348]

As it always seems to be with vandalism on Teslas, it's solely because they're Teslas and it's a not-so-subtle FUCK YOU to the owners. Also, I'd say the Merc was at fault because he went into a bike lane, which is illegal.
