Got into an accident Opinions/knowledge needed.

You seem to be justifying why she was not at fault. If you talk to the insurance adjusters like this post, they may start believing you were at fault. You're saying "obviously you were wrong"?? Ok

Obviously I was wrong that I thought she was slowing down. That wasn't clearly written. When I talk to the adjuster o will be very clear about her running the red light.

People cant drive here worth a damn. Run red lights, another thing I see a lot of here is when lanes shift (like coming westbound on Cheyenne over the 15) and people just keep driving straight. Almost been sideswiped a few times because of that

Yeah. Those lane shifts are a bit confusing at first though. The problem is people won't stick with the turn only lanes and they either stop in the middle of it to try to lane change or just force their way in.

Is it normal for a driver to run a red light and cause an accident, then not get ticketed?

Apparently when the cops don't seem to care enough to issue a ticket to a 19 year old girl.

I only mentioned about not being a green arrow because the video isn't clear. Also in Washington state we have a lot of lights that are just green and yield to oncoming traffic. Not sure what the laws are where the OP is from but if the sign does show Uturn and green arrow there shouldn't be an issue.

 

I also thought the officers have to give a ticket and decide based on the evidence who is at fault? If not it is just her word vs yours (but you have the camera, most don't)

 

 

Whole thing just seems weird

What is with people blaming the OP? He had a protected green arrow which means there should be no opposing traffic interfering his turning movements. The bug ran the red light and caused the collision and is 100% at fault.

I agree...the ruling will be based on that fact alone not "well maybe he should have seen the oncoming car running their red light and stopped". Not a huge case here, no one was killed, the system will rule in the OP favor and proceed to the "next case".

I look forward to seeing how this turns out. Sometimes the obvious comes with surprises. I never have cared for U-turns at intersections and will go the extra distance to avoid them. I also do not enter an intersection before the oncoming traffic has stopped. I often see drivers making a run for it on a fresh red. I am not suggesting blame will be placed on the OP but he will have a heightened sense of awareness when dealing with intersections in the future. I took a motorcycle training course after I retired a few years ago and have adopted an attitude that safety trumps (?) being right. Intersections are particularly unfriendly to motorcyclists and you learn quickly how many motorists do not play by the rules!

Update

Went to their body shop for an estimate he's looking at 3300 plus labor and paint. All aftermarket parts for bumper grill and headlights. Can I argue for oem parts?

Not at all police only responsibility is to the saftey of those involved . They do not and should not care about property is common for traffic accidents to go to civil court if you were uninsured as you are still liable just no one is covering you. The judge would certainly look at the police report but they weigh their decision independently. The police are usually only a 3rd party observer so can only be regarded are heresay since they were not actually present. Some cases are of course a lot more obvious than others. ex) two people hit each other in a wal mart parking lot, who was backing up first? Both say they were. Cops do not care that was not even city property.

Further update. Spoke to the adjuster he thinks I should be in the clear for liability but is waiting on a response from the other party. He said that Infinity insurance doesn't write diminished value into their policies so I should call my insurance (liberty mutual). Which doesn't really make much sense to me. Unless I want to pay my deductible to get them to pay me a bit more.

Luckily it's not really bad. Good luck. I made a u turn in a work truck and a woman started to stop at the stop sign and then floored it at the last second and t-boned me. It was bizarre. Management about lost it when the other driver admitted it completely to the cop "yeah, I saw him, and just ran into him. I have no idea why I just drove into him". The officer seemed a little bewildered also.

Maybe she had an intense urge to hit you. I wonder how my car crumples. Well? not well? No time like the present to test those standards.

    • That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
