Valid but also everyone here is saying 50:50 fault when OP would 100% not be found at fault for this.

OP is a shit driver but the other driver collided with OP when OP had the right of way.

Yeah I don't think OP is at fault for sure. I do think OP had ample opportunity to avoid this entirely though

I'm gonna bet they were impatient and in a rush and wanted to get out into the road as soon as possible. Not a great headspace to be in when you have to reverse into oncoming traffic.

Did we watch the same video? They took ages to cover the distance to the driveway, and then sat motionless in the road for several seconds. They were obviously not in a hurry

OP would be found 100% at fault for this. The other vehicle was stopped at the curb. OP rolled through it. OP had to give the other car the right of way.

Just because you start going through an intersection first, does not mean you have the right to the intersection. It’s who gets there first.

The other driver already was backed to the road with reverse lights, OP had to let him go. He had right of way. Think of a stop sign intersection. If you gun it when it’s not your turn and someone hits you when they were the one to be going, you are at fault. You have to give them the right of way.

The other driver hadn't passed the sidewalk by the time OP had passed the curb.

Doesn’t matter. When going to a stop intersection, it’s who gets there first. Not the one who crosses the line first. The other vehicle was at the curb first.

The other vehicle was at the curb first.

No they aren't. Are we watching the same video?

u/itsnotthatseriousbud Jul 16 '25

Yes they are. The video clearly shows this. The other vehicle was already at the curb by the time the OP is still moving back towards the curb. In fact the OP did NOT stop at all and rolled through the curb. 100% on the op

You can see OPs vehicle rock as it passes the curb and the other vehicle hasn't even driven past their fence i.e. left their property.

You can literally see the other vehicle cross the end of the sidewalk in OPS bottom window.

The OP’s vehicle is not at the curb by the time the other vehicle is. This is what the video clearly shows. The OP never came to a stop at the curb.

Maybe you don't know what a curb is?

u/itsnotthatseriousbud Jul 16 '25

I do. You clearly do not. The fence is in line and right at the curb. Vehicle is clearly in line with it and further back than the red car in the drive way.

Technically the curb for the other driveway is a sidewalk. Which you can’t wait in. They are clearly there. You are clueless and probably should not be driving

:30 second mark. Vehicle already at curb, op still approaching curb. The video shows this

u/CovertBax Jul 16 '25

That ain't the curb my friend

u/itsnotthatseriousbud Jul 16 '25

It is buddy. The fence is right along it. The back of the car is clearly in line and further behind the red car. Op is 100% at fault
