Should I have pulled over?
So, today I was in traffic and gave way to cars coming out of streets at intersections as I was going straight. It came to another intersection and I stopped to give way to a driver when i saw it was clear and then when the driver came out to the middle of the road I was still expecting them to check that it was clear before they kept going but they didn’t check at all and then a car was coming down and hit the car I gave way to causing the bumper to break off of the car. Was this my fault and should I have pulled over? Or was this their fault for not stopping and checking before completely their turn?

- both. check your road rules00
- The driver of the other car has the responsibility to ensure all lanes are clear before crossing an intersection, especially if it’s not his right of way.
You should have stopped as a witness. In some areas, it’s compulsory and you could be cited if they tracked you down.10 - Safety troll strikes again.21
- Study the driving summary. You don't know the rules of the road. You should not have stopped. Since you did, and offered right of way to cross traffic, other traffic should have also stopped and let the driver clear the way. They should not have crossed into the path of oncoming traffic, causing a crash. Learn the rules of right of way and do not stop for traffic that does not have right of way the way you did. The reason if now obvious. You should have pulled over and waited for the police. What you did was technically a hit and run.10
