| Posted: 18 Sep 2015 02:08 PM PDT I don't drive cars so I've obviously never been in an accident, but I'm really confused.. If someone was driving a jeep cherokee and apparently drove off of the road and crashed into a tree, and only the back of the car was completely messed up, even the backseats in the photo looked fine, why couldnt the driver survive? If he was 55 and has been in an accident like this before, but survived why couldnt he this time? There is no speed mentioned. |
| Question: Exiting a parking lot? Posted: 18 Sep 2015 01:20 PM PDT There is no customary etiquette for this and that is a problem. Ideally each driver would hang back far enough and long enough so that a car in the other lane who arrived earlier can see approaching traffic in both directions and can make their turn. If there are lines of cars in both lanes, they could alternate so that first a left lane car goes and then a right lane car. This never happens. The way it works in real life is that both drivers pull up as far as possible in an attempt to see around each other. Both simply block the view of the other. The one in the larger, higher vehicle (SUV or Minivan, usually) may be able to see OVER a regular car in the next lane and can therefore proceed. The car driver must wait until all traffic in the next lane has left. Then he can finally see and get a chance. This is not ideal and can be dangerous as the desperate driver may go before it is safe. One way to deal with it is to try to occupy and block both lanes with your car so other drivers cannot trap you like that. It may seem rude, but it is a realistic strategy, especially if you have a low car. Another strategy is to avoid that particular exit if a safer one is available elsewhere. Edit: I like Larry's answer and have done that, too. Depending on the sight lines at the particular intersection, this is not always possible, unfortunately. |
| Question: My friend left the scene of an accident. Will she get in trouble? Posted: 18 Sep 2015 07:00 AM PDT If it was your "friend" who did this, why are you concerned about it? But your friend is guilty of the crime of leaving the scene of an accident. It doesn't really matter if there was damage or not, if she couldn't find the owner of the vehicle she should have left a note with her phone number. If there truly was no damage nothing would happen. If there was damage her insurance would protect her and not pay out more than the costs of the damage. And if she had the possible criminal charge of leaving the scene of an accident wouldn't be a factor as it is now. |
