So you saw a car coming, ASSUMED they would stop despite them legally having the right-of-way, and then pulled out when they were apparently already so close to you that they couldn't stop in time?

Based on your diagram you simply didn't yield to the other driver since you were the one at the stop sign and he was not. Also, if he gave you a courtesy stop then he increases the likelihood that he gets rear ended from behind since there is no expectation for him to stop. It's mind boggling how many drivers don't understand simple things on the road.

Wrong, if you weren't there, the accident wouldn't happen.

That isn't how fault works. Please refer back to points 1 thru 3 and read them until it sinks in.

Well shite, that changes everything! Why didn’t you say you came to a complete stop before pulling into oncoming traffic in front of a guy who had a clear right of way?



one more time - i assumed he was going to be polite and give a courtesy stop

if you hadn't entered the intersection unlawfully, it wouldn't have happened. Same rules apply when turning left into oncoming traffic. If you get t-boned, you're at fault. The other drivers are not responsible for your not yielding to cars who have the right-of-way

This explains why there are so many piss poor drivers on the road. Complete lack of understanding of the rules of the road.

A slight derail from the OP, but people who actually do drive up to a two-way stop and treat it like a four-way deserve to be run off the road.

Then they give you that stupid wave like they're doing something nice. No, idiot, you're over-complicating everything about this intersection.

Not for nothin', but my perception is that the vast majority of Silverado drivers are putzes. It's like these things should come stocked with "Curs Laght".

Completely making up something, doesn't mean it actually exists. You assumed another driver had knowledge of something you completely made up and doesn't actually exist.

Please refer back to my point #1 again.

Either you're a troll or you need your license revoked.

You must be trolling. If you are not, look at your drawing again. You see how you have a stop sign but the Bama bro does not? You are required to stop until you have the ability to go through the intersection unharmed. He is required to do nothing. The wreck was 100% your fault and based on your reaction to it, I hope the judge makes you re-take drivers ed.
