Hit on the way home today by a group of teenagers trying to squeeze into the left turning lane. Looks like pickup tried to get in and she just kept going into lane 1 of 2 left turn lanes that I was occupying. Love the Rivian video. As soon as they said they didn't have insurance I just called the police for a report. Obviously they're at fault.

Damage minimal or it isn't we'll see.

I'm just amazed that they actually signaled their intentions! At least your Rivian is drivable and hopefully the work won't take too long.

I remember when Pennsylvania passed the law that allowed you to turn right on red. A short time later I was on a 35mph road coming up to a green light and a woman entering the intersection from the right came to a complete stop and then turned directly in front of me. I slammed on the brakes (and the horn) and my '72 Chevy Country Squire Wagon fishtailed all over the road. She stopped her car, got out, put her hands on her hips, and loudly informed me that "I CAME to a complete stop" as if it was my fault...

Other drivers always scare me.

Everyone was fine. Other driver could have clearly just turned out of the school and came over into the left lane behind me as it was clear. Instead she tried to speed past everyone and the rest is history.

Looks like there were two left turn lanes and no need to cram into your lane. Great example of someone that should have full time ADAS!

Looks like a fairly new Corolla.... I'm surprised she didn't have at least liability on it. At least you are okay, she didn't try to run (I'm sure that truck would have chased her down) and the damage looks like it is only partially "totaled" ... :CWL: :CWL::CWL:

No no no

You missed an opportunity to lay down on the road and yell my spinal 😆

Brand new with paper temp plate and police called it her fault after seeing the video.

There is a pickup truck that attempts to enter their lane. They reacted and bumped into the OP.

The pickup truck that cut into their lane that could be partially at fault for this accident. I say could be as the Corolla was being driven rather recklessly where they cut over quite fast.

Was her name Karen or Donna?

I'm just amazed the other pickup pulled into the same parking lot! Unless they got grazed by the Corolla, too.

Yes, the pickup didn't yield the right of way and made an illegal lane change into the turn lane over the solid line. The Corolla also made an illegal lane change over the solid. Depending on the state, the two Toyota insurance companies might fight over fault here.
