      Let's not obsess over who is or is not to blame. It always takes two vehicles to create a collision. Let's focus on cleaning up the mess, and moving forward. Definitely faster than that truck was moving forward.

      Education is extremely important.

          LOL

          I remember hearing that in Korea (South), no driver can ever be 100% at fault in an accident. Even if for example, they go through a red light and hit another car, the other car, just by being there, has some fault, even if it were 1% or less.

            I had the car only 2 days - less than 100 miles on it, standing still in a parking lot with cars in front and behind me. A young woman starts backing out of parking space and is about to hit me. I have nowhere to go - honk the horn repeatedly. She bashes into the my car. She tells the police exactly what she did - "I looked and then I backed up." I explain to the officer that what she says is precisely true - "She looked, then backed up - but she wasn't looking back as she backed up." I went to her insurance company and the adjuster says that old line of "it's always a bit of two people's fault." I explain, "not this time." Go back and forth a bit. He asks me my job. "Director of Membership, American Bar Association." Discussion over. They take 100% responsibility.
