Drivers Ed 101: Never listen to someone waving you on, and if you do, you're still liable for any accident that occurs. Seriously people, don't assume that another driver has checked that it's 100% safe for you to go
Literally. I hate people who wave me to go ahead when there is clearly traffic still coming that could hit me. YOU'RE NOT HELPING ANYONE! Only holding up the traffic in your own lane.
You'd think as adults, we would have learned by now that you cannot depend on anyone but yourself. If someone is waiving me on, I don't go until I see that it is safe to proceed before I take advantage of the opportunity being offered. It is human nature to be selfish and self centered. To expect that a random passerby will spend even a second helping make your life easier, is incredibly naive.
You are absolutely correct. I had cars made signals to me in certain situations and I just ignore them .
I bet it was an old guy just oblivious to everyone else
This. Always take your right of way and never accept someone yielding theirs. That just introduces chaos into the system and causes collisions
Anyone else faced with sadness when the title doesn't include "Part 1" ?
There's one with a part 2 but no part 1...
Yes! I also like 3 and 4's.
@@xerikl I thought we'd get part 1 today. Sad.
Yes, they should put 'full case' or something on the title because in the past they didn't show the resolution so a lot of people don't bother watching them. I've only watched it 2 days later because it keeps popping up on my suggestions.
@@bravo2966 Agreed ! Also wish they would put like Part 1/2 or Part 1/4 so we know how many parts there are total. Maybe nitpicking a bit but would help lol
The defendant made a fool of herself faster than "a bat out of heck" 🤣🤣
She couldn't comprehend that even if everything she said and claimed was true, she's still at fault
Right? How do these people get by in life? The stupidity is astounding.
@@sciguy98 I know. She was like, "Even he told me I was in the clear." Umm that's not how driving laws work
She acted like the truck drivers permission was all she needed as a defense.
NEVER wave anybody to go thru. And never listen to anybody who waves you thru. You sit there until you can see that all lanes are clear
thats how my mom taught me
🎯
Spot on.
Like duh lol
Exactly. You don't take chances like that with deadly machinery. Make damn sure it's safe to make your move
Harassing??!??? No she wanted that brunette to pay for damages that’s not harassment. Also how on earth she thinks that the guy in the yellow truck waving her on gives her all the sudden right of way. Girl it doesn’t work like that. Own it.
Even if he was behind the truck and pulled out around him *HE STILL HAD THE RIGHT OF WAY* ... Hand your license back.
I think the gentleman plaintiff was an absolute model plaintiff, he behaved exactly as you should on JJ.
God the defendant was so delusional.
And a shitty driver.
Yes. And a liar.
“He was coming around like a bat out of hell” it doesn’t matter he had the right of way. Period.
Also, if he was significantly speeding, the insurance companies would have determined that, since they want to raise the rates of whoever's at fault, or drop them if possible. He probably switched lanes, and passed at a typical speed, which to her would seem fast compared to the stopped truck.
I never go when someone waves for me, unless I check to make sure it’s entirely clear. This happens all the time, other drivers aren’t looking out for you that’s your job
"She was telling me she had a kid and she was struggling"
JJ: "You don't know her. Whatta you care?"
Classic 😂
Yes the old 'I gave this total stranger who was harassing me for nothing $200 because I felt sorry for her' routine. How she thought that was going to work I don't know.
I loved it too. JJ doesn't entertain sob stories. Even if that was true, it has no relevance to this case
👁 👁
👄 The defendant needs a hearing aid ( he had the right of way)the defendant is delusional 🤪
Savage
Even if the guy was behind the truck and went around the truck and accelerated, he still has the right away, and it was still her fault.
Solid ruling, the defendant was ridiculous 👏🏼
I'm always really careful when the front car is stopped in a double lane and waving me on when there's another lane of traffic that looks empty but is hard to tell. Very dangerous situation and I hate it. I feel awkward because the guy waving is like you're good and you don't go, but I don't know what else to do.
Exactly .. I actually feel bad for the defendant cuz she prob assumed the plaintiff would acknowledge that the car in front of him was letting her go but instead he switched lanes and bam
Absolutely because they might be waving you on but they have no responsibility. I caused an accident and totalled my car in exactly this situation. I should not have been driving I was upset about my Dad's death and distracted. Man waved me on to cross a few lanes of traffic I went ahead and got T-boned. I was lucky no-one was hurt including me.
I have to agree. I once saw a court case where this happened....where the plaintiff was suing the truck driver. The judge ruled that since the truck driver was the only person who had a view of all traffic behind him, he adopted the role of 'traffic cop' and was negligent in causing an accident. Ever since, I make damn sure to never wave directions to any vehicle in front of me.
Right and it makes me feel like an asshole for keeping the guy who’s waving me waiting. But I’d rather them get annoyed and keep going than get in an accident
I hate those people. They think they are so nice but are really going to cause an accident.
If I can't see around a car, I'm not moving forward even if you wave me forward.
Thats just common sense. That truck isn't responsible because he waved her out. She is responsible for making sure an intersection is clear before going through it. Ill never understand why people trust random strangers like that
I think she did see the plaintiff and he was behind the car waving her to go but he switched lanes and said nope lol
@@shadirashid1932 yeah. So why did she still move ahead? He has right of way and doesn't have to follow the truck's example.
You weren't in the car, you weren't driving...Sit down 😂😂😂...why should you embarrass yourself when millions are watching 😂
But she is the owner of the car and hence the Plaintiff, therefore shouldn't have been asked to sit down. The man was merely her eye witness. This is the first time I've seen JJ tell a Plaintiff to sit down.
@@iykeharrison9161 Not sure what video you were watching. He was not an eye witness. He was the driver. She loaned the car to him!
@@camdaman813 Yes she loaned the car to him but he is not the owner of the car, therefore he cannot sue for damages to the car that does not belong to him. He can only testify on behalf of the owner on what happened, because he was there and saw it happen. Hence, he is merely an eye witness for the owner of the car. Do you still need anymore clarification?
@@camdaman813 You are the one who does not understand a thing and you keep letting your ego get in the way. This case is not about the driver or any injuries he might have sustained during the crash. If it was, then I would agree with you that he was the right person to stand as the victim of the crash. This case is about damage to the car, therefore only the owner (not the driver) of the car can sue for damages to it. The driver, not being the plaintiff, can only be called upon as a witness for the plaintiff. Learn to put your ego aside sometimes and just accept that you are wrong and being corrected. That's all I will be saying on this. You are free to ramble on.
Doesn't matter if he was behind the truck or not. He wanted to change lanes and go around the truck. Obviously that's perfectly legal.
JJ just cuts through the rubbish and gives the innocent their dues I love her to bits thanks from the UK
Pretty sure that defendant was lying her head off. Even her own insurance companysaid she was at fault. Did she actually try to say she gave them $200 bc the woman needed money for food? LMAOOO How ridiculous to stand up there and lie like that! 🙄
Other drivers will wave you out of the way. They are NOT an authority figure. They don't care what happens to you as long as they get where they want to go. Always judge for yourself.
I had a front seat passenger waving me on yesterday. The PASSENGER! I was waiting to turn right in front of their vehicle going straight ahead.
I shook my head and waved back for them to continue through and the driver got confused when the passenger grabbed her arm and waved me through again.
So, me sitting there shaking my head, pointing at the driver to move on and the bloke behind me starts hitting the horn then PULLS OUT and overtakes me ... just as the other driver decides to drive on after all.
RESULT: Bloke behind me charged, Driver of other vehicle charged, passenger charged after abusing the police, and peak hour turned crazy as this accident blocked a railway crossing intersection.
Bottom line? Learn the road rules and stick to them. Easy 🤷♀️
Mind blowing, she just refused to accept any responsibility. This is how people are, like this defendant. The world is broken.
Never ever ever blindly go just because someone waves you out. You are responsible to be able to see if the road is clear. I've seen this happen so many times.
The defendants POV is pretty clear.
She wanted to turn left
The yellow truck needed to turn right but couldn't until the defendant made her left
However, the plaintiff, behind the yellow truck, goes around the yellow truck, either because he thought
the truck was waving him around, or because he was impatient
Either way, he went around and had the right to do so
Defedant made an honest mistake but is at fault.
*To everyone who is reading this, I pray that whatever is hurting you or whatever you're constantly stressing about gets better. May the dark thoughts, the overthinking, and the doubt exit your mind right now.May clarity replace confusion. May peace and calmness fill your life Amen♥️*
Thank you. 😊✌️
Thank you 🙏🏽🤍
is my bank account gonna grow now then? that’d clear a lot of things up and end a lot of my suffering
@@Zzz2x money can't buy what you really need in your life. 🙏🏽
The beginning was a game of musical chairs lmao
While driving , Never ever make a decision to cross, pass , turn or whatever based on other people thought process. Don’t expect the other driver to do what’s right from your perspective
in both scenarios, the defendant is still wrong, it doesn't matter if the plaintiff was already in the left hand lane or changed lanes to the left lane...
I think the defendant is telling the truth, he was probably behind the truck, however he still has right of way . Just because a person lets you in doesnt mean the rest of the road users will. That truck driver wouldn't be checking for hazards as he isnt performing the turn. Unfortunate situation, poor thing just got unlucky.
love the musical chairs going on in this episode. for some reason I just can't stop laughing
When I was learning to drive, I came to a stop sign. I stopped and waved to the pedestrians to cross.
My instructor yelled at me “who the hell made you a traffic cop? Anything happens to them, that’s on you.” Lesson well-learned.
Many many years ago, when I was 13 in fact, so yeah....a long time ago 😂.... I wasn't with her at the time, but my friend was running a bit late to school. Instead of going under the pedestrian subway, she decided to cross the main road. Not sensible, two double lanes of traffic either way, with cars going fast on their way to work. But being 13, she didn't want to be late to school. She waited looking quickly left and right to see if there was a gap to dash through, and a driver smiled, slowed a little deliberately to allow her to cross, and waved her over to say "here ya go". She smiled back and ran across, just as a driver behind him, seeing him slowing down, decided to put his foot down and overtake him as he had every right to do. The second car hit my friend so hard she was flipped up in the air backwards and landed on the front of another car, SEVEN CARS BACK! Every car in between and either side was splattered with her blood, hair, teeth and shattered bone fragments. She survived...but only through the skills of the doctors who worked on her for the next four months. The first two months she was in a coma, but they still had to operate to open up her chest and skull to deal with massive internal bleeding. She had to have almost full sets of false teeth. Her waist length blonde hair was shaved off, mostly to get to her brain, but also it was so badly matted with congealed blood, gravel and bits of tarmac embedded through her flesh. Luckily, being 13 and only small anyway, her smashed bones healed themselves pretty quickly and thoroughly, but she needed physiotherapy for well over a year to help keep the healing intact and supported by muscles etc. She also had to have numerous facial surgeries right through her teens to reduce scarring and make her face symmetrical again.
Luckily for you, you got lucky with your driving instructor! I can't imagine what her accident did to those drivers that day. The road was cordoned off for about a week afterwards, as they were still finding parts of her schoolbag, teeth, and broken glass in the surrounding roadside. That accident affected an enormous amount of people, from those who were on the school side of the road and saw it happen, to the teachers, her friends and family, the drivers, passengers, police, paramedics and reporters at the scene, even random drivers days later being delayed on the way to work via a temporary road diversion.
Your instructor taught you well. 😘
@@tamielizabethallaway2413 holy shit!!!!
@@tamielizabethallaway2413 Damn, thanks for that. Now I will never feel awkward for not allowing drivers to pressure me to hurry up and cross the road after they "kindly" slowed down to let me pass, I will continue to wait until I see no cars or they're extremely far away before I cross the road.
@@abbiereynolds8016 Yeah! Awkwardness is the least of your worries! It's kind when drivers do slow down for pedestrians to cross obviously, a natural kind instinct, but of course their kind gesture can make the driver behind angry and put their foot down. They said my friend was lucky she was so young and small, because it's only that reason she flipped over so far in a kind of stretchy way. if she'd been a bit older with more formed bones, she'd have broken probably beyond repair. Always find a safe place to cross...even if it means walking further down the road a little way to get to it. You might hate the extra steps you need to take to get to a safe crossing, but that's better than never being able to walk again. 😘😘😘
My boss at Fed Ex said the same, pretty much!
☮️💜
I’m excited to see judge Judy screaming at them 🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣
@@victoriamacpriest7130 dwl
I’ve had people wave me out, but I still stop and crawl looking to see if the coast is really clear.
I haven’t even finished watching and it’s 💯 percent her fault.
Doesn’t matter how fast he was going, since he had the right of way. Period!
I can't believe people like that defendant still exist smh 🤦🏽♀️
This is why I don’t let people way me out if I can’t see for myself. That’s okay, I’ll wait.
"Bat out of heck?" Come on now, hell is a noun lmfao
I was going to say something very similar!! It's not like if he was driving like a bat out of bastard.
Bat out of Heck reminds me of a Jimmy Neutron episode where there was a ride called that. Sheen says "2 years off your life expectancy or your money back!"
Good times.
how can i get unlimited rides? sounds fun
Lol i remember that
Wow I'm surprised this got even one like 😂😂
Thats exactly how my first accident happened. A dump truck waved out at old lady and I t-boned her.
Her husband showed up and kept insisting i was at fault, until the police showed up & set him straight.
Never pull out from a side road if someone waves you out and you can't make sure all lanes are clear.
I got in an accident doing exactly this a few years ago. I was one making left. The cars in both direction stopped and both waved me out. But someone came obscured from behind car on left and we hit on front corners. I was determined at fault. I thought it was single lane in each direction. Apparently there were 2 lanes in that direction for a portion of road and we were right were that was ending. There was no paint on ground and multiple accidents there so they've since painted road. But i got concussion and now my insurance is much higher
This is why I have a dash camera. I never start driving until I make sure it’s on and connected
a part of me never wants to get a drivers licence because im terrified of people like this 😭
It's odd the defendant said she did not pay $200 towards, but it's good for the plaintiff she made that claim, or they'd have taken $200 off the judgment as already having been paid out.
And you can't get another functional Mazda 626 for $1250 after fees, registration, and taxes. The plaintiff is going to spend a lot more to replace the car, than to keep driving it.
JJ has that BD energy lol!!
😂😂
Here in Canada, if you wave someone out that it's clear, you are the one at fault.
I believe in Oregon it is also the fault of the "waver". I NEVER wave anyone. Yikes.
Well sounds right coming from Justin Trudeau la la land
@@NeonForceGetsuga I totally agree, I'm not saying it's right, I'm just stating what the law is.
In the UK we tend to flash someone if we intend to let them out. Officially, flashing the lights is a warning of your presence, so if ever anything bad came of it we could always say we were warning of our presence.
If you're trying to enter a two lane road and only one lane has let you through, it's up to you to make sure you got access to the other lane also, not the person letting you in.
@@NeonForceGetsuga I doubt it's a law myself, it'd be very hard to enforce.
I don't think Meatloaf would have ever had a hit with "Bat out of *Heck* "
a bat out of heck?🤣
PLEASE don't wave people on or follow someone waiving you on!!! That's how my car got totaled almost a decade ago, I was in the same position as the plaintiff 🤦♀️
Thank you to whoever made up the title, gave me my first chuckle of the day 😁
The ones that say “your ma’am” are my favorite 😂😂
Just Judy is straight to the point no nonsense let’s get it done FAST mentality. I love it.
wonder why she didnt say she owes her $1050 if she already admitted to giving her $200 for the car.
I think that was an error from JJ but good for the Plaintiff.
I think because she said that it wasn’t for that
Who cares she said it wasn’t for the car so she gave her what she wanted :3
Even if he did that, she’s still wrong
In Insurance Claims, we call this a "sucker hole"...She got caught in the sucker hole. You can't depend on another driver to tell you to go.
Never ever trust someone waving at you that it’s safe to go! I have natural instinct about driving that most don’t have. We were going to visit our son & family, the light turned green & even though my husband said to go because the light was green; I hesitated. If I had driven past the light, a woman driving at an illegal speed & trying to go through the light would have hit me on the driver’s side & killed me. I have no doubts that the Lord was protecting me! The people behind me weren’t too pleased, but when they saw what happened; I imagine they thought I did a good job! You can’t trust red lights or yield signs, because people are distracted & have no business driving!! Everyone be very careful, because that few seconds of waiting paid off. Don’t risk your life!
I agree. I hate when people hollar at me in car to make a turn or go this way or that when I'm driving - for exactly that reason. Even if they say it's safe, i need to know that for my self
Why would you listen to another driver telling you what to do on the road lol
I think its a good idea to stop issuing drivers licences. The competency of drivers has clearly dropped severly
One the man had the right of way..and 2 unless she saw the guy stop behind the truck which she obviously didn't as they collided then she needed to wait and be sure that it was clear for her to turn. The truck driver may have stopped for her hut doesn't mean all other vehicles will especially if they have the right of way. Depend on your own judgement not someone else's when driving..
"He waved me on"... guess what.. the yellow truck is NOT an officer and has no right to illegally stop traffic to let you out
Defendant might be able to take an action against the truck driver.
What is interesting is that the defendant admitted to giving $250 already. This means that the judgment would have been $1050 -- however, the defendant said that the reason she gave the $250 had nothing to do with the car accident. I imagine this is precisely why JJ (who didn't believe this anyway) still opted to give the plaintiff the full value of the car at $1250. Had the defendant admitted she gave her the money expressly for the damage, I believe the plaintiff would have received only $1050 from JJ.
Yup. I bet she feels foolish for that one.
i believe the defendant. 50-50 responsibility.
The truck can't tell the Plaintiff to stay. If I ever see a standoff between two drivers, I go around too
The truck had no capacity or authority for that matter, to direct traffic. Simple as that.
She doesnt get it. You can drive in any lane you want. You can change lanes any time you want. People entering traffic have NO rights! If you follow directions from another driver, such as waving you through, WHATEVER HAPPENS IS ON YOU! DONT listen to other drivers waving you through.
Amazing why people don't think they are responsible...
Even with her stupid story it’s still her fault. Lmao.
If she didnt see the plaintiff car, how did she know his car was behind the truck?
Seriously. Someone at the DMV gave her a license and didn’t look back. 🤣🤣🤣
I do believe those two are dodgy AF, and it happened how Nina said it did. Just unfortunate no one believed her. I wonder if it's out there on someone's dashcam ?
The defendant was 🔥. Beautiful hair.
WHY did the defendant listen to another driver? She was at a damn intersection!
Seriously, people are just so bad at driving it's embarrassing
She sounds so dumb saying she gave her money even though she wasn’t at fault 🙄 that doesn’t make any sense
I believe her he was behind that vehicle who was letting her out he was inpatient went around and hit her💁🏼♂️
Buttttt you do have to know ppl and say thank you but no thank you I’ll wait until it’s completely cleared cause this will happen.
Go if only if a traffic officer waves you on. Otherwise, you are liable.
I was feeling a little sympathy for the defendant, thinking it might have been possible that the driver got mad that the truck made him stop, so he pulled around him and floored it, tires squealing. Then I heard she paid $200 "because she's going through a rough time financially," and I know that isn't what happened at all.
That yellow truck is actually partially at fault.
Not a bat out of HECK... that's the worst kind 😭😭 It's Hell 😂😂
She kept throwing her late husband in it to get out of paying smh
What am I missing here? The defendant claims the truck driver waved her on. How could she have seen that if she was on Juniper street? The passenger side side of the truck is what faces her. That has to be a ludicrous claim on behalf of the defendant.
"The car has three pedals and I only have two feet!" Lolol
Don’t wave cars through!
0:08 Forgot to get her nail done before TV.
Lol if you mean hell, say hell....
Lol "bat out of heck"
Someone waving you on can only ever be speaking for his/her vehicle. It has zero to do with what any other vehicle is doing.
1:10 whose car is in the tree? 😂
This is why i put on hazards if i need to stop . It allows drivers to make their own choices . no wave necessary
def need to learn the road rules agin
love jj 🤣
I don't understand, if the insurance company accepted liability why didn't they pay out? He had paperwork saying she was at fault, she was insured, why didn't they pay out?
Because I was driving a car that wasn't mine
and that is why courteous people are sometimes the most dangerous on the road. follow the rules, and be predictable.
Either way, even with her own diagram she was at fault. Why are we here????
That would be, "A bat out of Hell;" ....a famous phrase.
I understand Defendants point but I #always let ppl blow me if they want -if it’s not clear for my two eyes 👀 then am not going or making that turn -
I rather be extra safe to protect my life and avoid wasting time in court-hope she learns this 📌📌📌
I think the Plaintiff was impatient and went around the truck that had given the Defendant the "go ahead". However, when the Defendant made the turn, she should have done so cautiously, just in case someone like the Plaintiff decides to go around the stopped truck in front of him. I get the Defendant's argument, but she still was the one who had the duty to wait until ALL obstacles were cleared before proceeding.
Wow I should have taken the last guy that did that to me to judge Judy because the same exact thing happened to me this guy who worked in a dealership pulled out in front of me because he couldn’t see me in the next lane over cause another car was blocking his view and he thought he was in the safe to go but in Florida it’s a no fault state here. So we both got 50/50 for it
Fantastic title 😂😂
She must think she was driving in England.
Defendant has a very weak defense. Wouldn't be surprised if the truck driver was waving because she was in its blind spot
