I'm astonished that someone turning right, at a giveway line, didn't properly check both ways were clear before emerging, and then had the gall and audacity to tell the other person, that they should have been going slow enough to stop for him. To make it worse he didn't seem to realise he was 100% at fault, until you essentially told him he was. That means he originally sent this clip to you, still believing what he's saying in the video.

@@user-uo5jj6st9y It starts on a 30/30/30 split of whether the dashcammer is at fault/not/shared, but then the dashcammer often thinks "I'm in the right" when someone is pulling out in front etc, so they brake later or even speed up to "nearly" cause an accident to show how bad the other driver is. This causes accidents. They wouldn't put themselves in this situation if they didn't have the dashcam and insurance sees them at shared responsibility "you could have slowed down way sooner, any normal driver in your situation wouldn't have crashed" so this shifts it to more like 30/20/40 because the not fault moves into shared fault.

There's nearly always a share of blame. But I would say in this case the blame of the driver on the major road is minimal to zero. The driver emerging from the minor road should have checked it's safe. He didn't. It wasn't. And he couldn't see the road was clear enough because he closely followed the first car whose left turn obscured the view of the approaching traffic. The driver of the damaged car on the major road can hardly be to blame if he couldn't see a car which shouldn't have emerged. I don't get Ashley's criticism for the cammer not apologising. 'Don't say anything' - is the best policy. Check nobody's hurt - swap details - take photos - then clear the road and leave it to the insurance companies.

There seems to be an inordinate amount of comments that say the cammer here only chose to refuse admitting fault so that his insurance might cover the damages he caused, whilst he would be personally liable to pay for damages if he did admit fault and his insurance company would be likely to refuse taking on the expense if he did admit fault - is that about right? :)
@Bhraonain

@@GronTheMighty no, that's not right. You shouldn't admit liability at the scene so that insurers can then battle it out later. If there's a lack of evidence then they'll often agree to settle 50/50 between your insurers and the Third Party's. That will of course reduce the value of the claim on your record. Admission of fault at the scene doesn't necessarily mean you are 100% at fault; but if they can prove your admission then it would likely help tip the scales of fault your way. There can be contributory factors in any incident - say for example the Seat in this clip was speeding, that could be seen to have worsened the situation, and the claim might be settled e.g. 80/20.

I really don't think that this was grossly disproportionate speed on the part of the car which hit something else in avoiding the no look emerge. Just look at the footage again. Even at 30, or 20 or even 10 mph you will be "on top of someone doing something "stupid" like this and pulling out without looking.

We are all human beings - we all make mistakes. By telling the guy who swerved to avoid him, hitting something else that it was all his fault for his speed and that he must have been guilty of speeding as though pulling out without looking is only minorly a part of the problem was a complete wind up and insult to injury. Understandable why the girl lost it; and it has to be said that the other motorist exercised great restraint. The other guy wasn't travelling at an excessive speed for the road and that is borne out by looking at the film. this wasn't 50 or 60 mph, more like 25 or 35 top whack. Nope, the car with right of way was on top of the cammer when he just pulled out and the best the other motorist could do was steer around him. He did a good job and he should be compensated the costs of having his car should be fixed and loss of time.

cammer logic: You can pull out at a junction without checking properly, its okay to do this as long as they don't hit you, and they cannot hit you because they have to be able to stop in time. Therefore you can pull out of a junction without looking properly, because it's their fault if they hit you.

It's actually pretty alarming that the cammer seems to have no idea how bad their judgement was. Just like one of your recent videos where (I think) a Golf driver emerges from a blind junction and hits an oncoming car, this could have ended badly. I would be mortified and so apologetic if I did this but the cammer brushes it off like "we didn't crash so what's the big deal."

It is always smart to deny responsibility, refuse to comment and then if possible give false details (your phone number wrong by one digit for example if your number is 0713etc say "zero seven thirty" that way you can just claim they misheard and didn't get you to check it) and other such stuff, if you really want you can mock up an insurance letter in a pre-prepared false name or again just give your policy number incorrectly using a "14" rather than a "40" somewhere or telling them 370 when actually it is 870 (because you could claim you showed them, rather than reading it out, and they copied it down wrong by their mistake). Because if they don't take proof it was you there, in that car, at that time then good luck getting your insurance off of Miss Jane Smith, Number 10, Oak Lane, (Whatever city is nearby but not so close it is likely the person knows it well.) Had they been recording (from a sneaky rear dash cam or such), even an apology could later be used against you in an insurance claim and civil trial. Conversely from the point of view of the person not in the wrong, this is why you should use smartphones to verify all information given (call their phone number and check it is correct, photograph any documents they show you, photograph them there with the car (licence plate fully in view), look up their address on Google maps to check it is at least a real address not obviously fake. Try to ask for as much information as possible, even stuff they don't legally have to give such as their occupation/place of work, things that might be useful to know. Never admit fault, never apologise. Do not concede any ground.

To be honest without knowing what the junction looks like first hand it's hard to say who's in the wrong and in the right.

But I've had it personally down country roads were a blind corner or junction is free and some tool suddenly comes speeding around at above 30 mph and can't stop in time.

In this case, If I was the cammer, I would have parked and secured my vehicle, asked if everyone was ok and if they wanted to exchange details given them mine. But no, I wouldn’t have apologised either as that can be taken as an admission of guilt. Who is at fault is down to the insurance companies to sort out.

You are obliged by law to provide your personal details if you are involved in a road accident; insurance details must be provided (by law) if there are any injuries. I am pretty sure that if you got professional driving training they would have told you that. On the admission of liability (and the fact that even an apology can be treated as such), there are quite a few cases where the Courts took the stance that apologising or even admitting liability at the time of the accident is not the same as actually being liable - even in part. But I accept that procedures and training often tell you not to admit or apologise because this could be construed etc.

They were perfectly fine but they blamed it on me. Thankfully a car behind them stopped and they had a dash cam which showed the car overtaking them (they were doing 52 I believe) and the car swerving into the field and they gave me the video. There was also video footage from a scrap dealer which was able to prove they were doing over 100mph which caused them to receive a 6 month driving ban. I was rather pleased with the outcome xD

The fact that they think accidents mean contact between vehicles also amazes me, and the lack of an apology... bad form.

In no way am I saying the driver didn't do the wrong thing, just that you should not accept liability if there's damage to claim unless you want to be wholly responsible for paying for it.

I think you hit the nail on the head, I bet too the first car pulling out blocked the seat.

The VW Touran in front turned left into the 'major' road, and in my opinion the cammer ASSUMED that road was too narrow for another vehicle to be approaching from the left quite so soon. He obviously gauged it very wrong.

Unbelieveable that he tried to suggest the seat driver was at fault. "Yea so what I pulled out on you, you should have have stopped. Oh your cars damaged due to you having to avoid me. Well my cars fine so tough shit" That's how he comes across to me. It's so annoying and there are so many self entitled, can't do no wrong brats on the road these days. When I had a bump (hit a parked car when reversing and pulled the bumper off and ruined the wing and light fixings), I left a note with my number. I paid for the car to be fixed £600. That's called taking responsibility. Someone did a similar thing to my car a few years prior to that. But just left my 3 month old car all scratched up and left. I thought to myself, I will never be one of those people.

You could kind of understand if he thought they were both at fault to some degree, but it's pretty crazy that he thinks you can just pull out into flowing traffic and expect them to slam their brakes on to avoid an accident.

Lack in observational checks on a very damergous emerge, especially as cammer's left sided vision obscured by the VW MPV in front 🧐 and frankly this could've turned out alot worse, hope cammer realises this an learns alot from it

To be fair, without knowing this road well it's hard to know exactly what this looked like from both perspectives and whether there is a bit of validity to the cammer's stance of "should have been able to stop within line of sight". If this junction was right after a corner (on the road the Seat is on) then it's possible that the Seat only became visible at the last second. I'm not excusing the lack of observations here, but imagine that scenario with a tractor or similar doing the emerge before the Seat becomes visible, at the speed they were going it's possible that they might not have been able to stop in time. There's a few junctions like that near where I live, and after having to nose my car into a bush during a situation very similar to this I have slowed right down when approaching the junctions so I can stop if necessary! To say again, not excusing the lack of observation here, but as ever I think there are learning points from all perspectives here

It's very clear that both the cammer and the oncoming car had limited visibility of each other because of the narrow road (even if perfectly straight) and the VW van turning left two seconds before the cammer (you can still see the van at 0:31 with the cammer's car already over the give way lines). Whether that counts as 'able to stop within line of sight' is at least moot...

@@dlevi67 that's not quite what I meant. Obviously the cammer should have waited until they could see and done some observations. What I meant is if the cammer had done proper observations, emerged when it was clear and then the seat appeared at that moment, would it have been able to stop before the barely moving car. To reiterate, I'm not trying to assign blame or anything, I'm just saying that I've definitely slowed down where I know there are tricky emerges as it's better to avoid a collision than to have one and argue I'm in the right

This happens more than people realise. A car turns left out of a junction and the car behind who is turning right just pulls out not waiting to see if a vehicle is in the blind spot caused by the vehicle that has just turned left.

In all seriousness, looking for fault isnt helping the situation, thats for the insurance companies and police to deal with. The whole reason why ashley posted this and why the cammer sent it in, is for learning purposes on what each party did right or wrong and how we can make sure it doesnt happen again in the future, for anyone.

Apart from one thing when they send it in for Ashley's analysis what does he always do. Put his interpretation of the incident and see where we can all learn from it He literally explains this in some videos.. This isn't a court situation. Pipe down!

He either didn’t look left because he assumed it was safe due to MPV having room to pull out or didn’t see the Seat because of the people carrier or his nearside A-pillar, maybe both. You simply do not emerge if that manoeuvre will cause another road user to require to deviate their speed or direction. Thankfully no one was hurt and vehicle damage was minor, good too that learning has taken place, just because you have a license does not mean you shouldn’t look to improve constantly and accept that no one is perfect including yourself.

The emerge was poor, the attitude of the cammer was worse. I think if I found myself in that situation, the first thing I would have done is got out and apologised. Given the likely nature of the cosmetic damage on their car, it would probably be best to hand over your details and try to agree to pay directly for the repairs (probably a couple of hundred pounds) rather than the hassle and expense of going through insurance. We all make mistakes, it's the way we handle them that matters.

@ 0:30 the cammer's is at the give way line. If you look at the Volkswagen on the left, half of its body is already concealed. From this position the cammer can see about that - no more than a car length into the distance, which is insufficient. Considering the driver sits further back than the dash cam it's safe to assume that his view was even worse. Also, could have the Volkswagen helped at hiding the vehicle approaching? I think so. Anyway, the correct thing is to improve your view by creeping millimeter by millimeter, so that you can stop easily, when you see or *hear* somebody.

The cammer came out too quick after the car in front of him. He either, thought that it was clear because the other car had gone out, or he couldn’t see because of the other car going out and blocking his line of vision to the left.

The SEAT driver remained very calm. And you’re legally obliged to exchange details with the other party where there’s damage involved, arising from the incident. Not doing so is surely likely to make the other party more “shouty”?

In the cammers defence, all insurers state never to admit liability (which I struggle with), and not sure if you noticed but the side windows of the damaged car were heavily tinted - would that effect visibility is the car legal? Now having said that, I totally agree pulling out like that when it’s a give way junction was daft - no way did your cammer give way. Would have been far better to apologise swap details and let insurers sort it out. Of course hindsight is a wonderful thing 😁
