All incidents are recorded from Tesla vehicles and submitted to this channel by other Tesla enthusiasts. I contact each person who sends me their videos to talk with them and learn more about their story and to follow up on what happened after what we see on their video. Voice-over and captions are added to describe what happened, and why. I believe that this additional information regarding the incident gives the videos a newsworthy value.

    The Mercedes in the crash is most definitely at fault. No doubt about it. They one, passed on the right in a bike lane, second if they claim they were going right then, the speed wouldn't have been so fast.

      The Mercedes driver could argue that the Prius wasn't moving and thus was an obstacle. As such they went around the obstacle. Also while the Prius driver did take a little while to get going, Hiren really should have just been more patient and waited for the Prius driver to go and this whole thing wouldn't have happened. Likewise the Mercedes driver should have been more patient and not gone around the Prius. I think the Merc was the bigger jerk and should be responsible, but Hiren should have also just waited...

      Here it would be "Illegally passing a car to the right", "Illegally driving on a bicycle lane" and since he also crossed into the turning lane it would be "Illegally going straight from a turn lane" plus offcouse "illegally crossing a solid line".
      I bet here, the police would give the Merc driver 100% fault but the insurance companies would probably split it, so they could hike up both drivers insurance premium, especially of they both have the same insurance company.

      Mercedes at fault for using the bike lane and passing through a turn only lane

  • @risingphoenix1335
    @risingphoenix1335 6 місяців тому +347

    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.

      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

      In some areas, a basic rental car is 90+ bucks per day now. In the Dallas-Fort Worth area, the average price for the smallest rental car class is now around $60 at this time of year. 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.

    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.

      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.

      Even relatively minor fender benders can "total" a modern car if there is full airbag deployment.

      A good ol' chrome plated steel bumper was a wonderful thing. I have an old Jeep Cherokee and they came with normal bumpers, but they're thin metal. I replaced mine with custom made, 1/4" steel square stock that's mounted onto the frame. I pity the fool who pulls out in front of me and gets centerpunched. An old man commented that the front was a "Deer Slayer."

    Every time I see the cost to repair the Teslas seen in accidents, it makes me definitely want to stay away from owning one. Those repair costs are just insane compared to most other vehicles.

    • @floorpizza8074

      While the repair costs really are high, there's no substitute for vehicle safety. Right now, the safest cars on the road are all Teslas. If it means my family has the highest survival chance, I'll put up with the higher repair costs. Oh wait, no I won't... I have insurance to pay the repair costs.
      Some insurance companies do charge higher rates for Teslas, but a lot of them don't, as the higher safety scores offset the repair bills. My insurer charges the same to insure a top of the line Honda Accord as it does my Model 3 Performance.

    Definitely the Mercedes. My son was in a similar situation, though there wasn't a second car on the oncoming. He was turning left and when the light changed the oncoming car just sat there. So, after a bit he started to turn and then the other driver started to go and hit my son. The police found the other guy at fault. He admitted he had been looking at his phone at the time and didn't see my son's truck.

      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.

    I'm no cop, so I can't say for certain, but I'd call this a split fault. Hiren by law technically was supposed to wait despite the Prius not going, the Mercadies on the other hand illegally entered the intersection using a non lane. I for one wouldn't have turned, I may have even honked to get the Prius's attention, main reason is I wouldn't have wanted to be crossing when the Prius decided to wake up, especially if they were trying insurance fraud.

    Case 1 is simple. Police issue a citation for Hiren for Failure to Yield (the other car not moving does not give you permission to turn) and multiple citations to the other car 1) Passing on the right, 2) Failure to turn in a turning lane, 3) Reckless driving . Then let the drivers challenge them in traffic court and let the judge decide.

    • @androidunit56
      @androidunit56 6 місяців тому

      The other car not moving, does in fact give you permission to turn. That's what yielding is! Yielding is not stopping and waiting for the next person to go. It means to slow down, check your surroundings and continue when safe and clear. If the prius was not moving, it was safe to turn.

    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.
