how would you assess this?

mga sir, how would you assess this?

a car is running on the main road...not too fast yet not too slow.
approximately 50ft ahead there was an intersection, on it is a L300 contemplating to cross.
the car sounded its horn several times yet the L300 decided to cross.
the driver of the car stepped on the brakes hardly but the car skid because of the heavy rain.
after half of the L300 body had passed the double yellow line its bumper and of that car collided. it's the car that bumped to the L300.

now, whose fault it was?

[carbomb]

i think both of them are "guilty" he he he. seriously, both of them sana nagbigay para no problem.

[baker123]

the car that bumped the L300 is at fault because he was the one that bumped.

the car should have driven slow already by the time it was honking the horn and seeing the l300 ahead maybe braking or swerving. by this, it means the bumping car was the aggressive car because he honked and didnt brake earlier (meaning not defensive driving).

oh yea. the l300 can also say. "tailgating" si bumping car. kaya nga usually pag may banggaan e laging may sala yung tumumbok.


jazcker kayo po ba yung bumping car? peace tayo ha. hehehe

Right of way un car eh. Mukang mabilis kasi nag skid na nga eh. Saka 50ft, ang lapit na nun.

Hindi ba na-assess nun L300 na mabilis un car at sumugod pa rin cya? Kung talagang susugod cya, dapat cgurado nyang makakapasok cya ng mabilis para d cya abutin.

Kaya ako pag pumapasok sa main road inaantay kong clear talaga dahil wala ako sa right of way at baka d na kayanin sa break un padating na mabilis na sasakyan.

Alam kong usual na me sala un nasa likod, pero sa mga penalties ng LTO, wala un.

Both parties should have exercised proper and safe distance proximity given that both have seen each other moments before collision.

I think it's a case of both "assuming" too much from the other party.

A very avoidable accident.

Tough luck.

:dunno:.. both of them should have slowed down especially the car kahet na right of way pa nya because IMO that's the rule whenever you come across an intersection.. and whenever i encounter incidents like this tapos ako kunwari yung driver ng car, i always practice safe driving by slowing down and assumes na pipilitin talaga tumawid nung other car before i can pass.. importante talaga na nakaalalay sa brakes just in case may pasaway like the L300 na pipilitin talaga lumusot.. kung makikipag-matigasan ka kasi sa mga pasaway na driver.. naku! magkakasubukan lang kayo..

dati rin kasi akong pasaway and i learned my lesson the hard way.. i lost my first car (when i was still in college) dahil sa same incident na ikinwento ng thread starter.. total wrecked! .. buti na lang nothing happened to me coz the seat belt law has just been implemented a month before the accident..

:fyi: lang po, i won the case.. got my car fixed and gained a P100T more, although i sold my car immediately.. galing ng abogado ng daddy ko eh..
