Who would you blame if this close call had been an accident?
I was simply curious after reviewing the video that day.
As you can see, the car pulls out and nearly hits me while trying to change lanes to avoid the bus. Presumably the bus driver stopped off camera since the Honda and the car behind them continued alongside me. In your personal or professional opinion, who would be at fault if:
1. The car had hit me without the bus hitting the car? Bus or car?
2. The bus had hit the car as well as the car hitting me? Bus, car, or both?
3. Due to my late reaction, would I be held partially responsible at all?
Why do you come to your conclusion? On one hand, the car was not there before and had just pulled out. On the other hand, the bus driver could or should have continued checking to make sure it was still clear to pull forward.
Added (1). On #3, it's not that I wasn't paying attention. I was just brain dead at the time after an exam and incapable of thought.
The car changing lanes. Unless you were going at a very high rate of speed. Drive carefully meaning try to AVOID accidents all together. The other guy may be at fault and you may end up dead.
I wouldn't attempt to answer a "what if" question even if I could. I wouldn't blame anyone since that is not something I could do. ONLY the involved insurance companies can, do and would determine Blame (liability).
"what if" questions answered daily
- What would you do if a lady around 30-37 told you that you were useless and would never amount to anything? She's a well dressed white lady with a brand new Honda SUV and she has a daughter that looks about 12 that is also well dressed and the girl is being rude and both are being very rude to the guy at the counter at Subway. Would it be wrong to curse out the old witch who tried to start a fight and cursed out the subway worker and you?
- Have you seen any road-accident occurring before your very eyes? Lately, in our area, a speeding Honda-City car hit a bike-driver; The bike-driver was sent flying to a height and then fell hard on the coal-tar road, and died after a few hours in hospital;
- I've financed a car and put 1,000 down, it's been 2 days and the dealer still Looking a for a bank but I've been approved already? So I've put 1,000 down for my car at Honda and everyday passes but still same response from the dealer "still working on a approval" but they have my deposit and they already approved me. Is this even legal, Can they hold my deposit and not give me the car. Would I lose my deposit if I'm not approved?
- Do you think if they call a car a Sport model it should go fast? I remember when I think the Honda Fit/Jazz was called the "Sport model" and it got criticised for having soft suspension. These days "Sport" is used in most cars is used on the one with the most features and not fast cars very much. Should the ones with the most features be calling something else rather than sports?
