Ever thought about "catching" a red light?

And even though I will be hitting them, it'll be a 50/50 insurance-wise at worst... Even though I am gunning it, the other driver is the one who broke the law first which caused the accident. (Dad, and friend t-boned someone recently and it was other person's fault (friend's accident was yesterday actually))

I meant the other person freaking out and doing something stupid like letting go of or suddenly jerking the wheel in the wrong direction. Insurance wise it wouldn't be a problem, but if you get injured in that accident then you will definitely regret that decision.

Agreed, I have had shocked drivers who "instinctively" hit their brakes in front of me, but I usually am not going much past 30 and can always stop before I get near their car. It's just more for thematic purposes, LOL

I say this to you from my experience. I used to have a 2010 Maxima before the Z. I was making a left turn to get onto the highway and there was a pickup truck coming in the opposite direction from me. He had his turn signal flashing right and was getting onto the ramp when I decided to pull into the empty intersection and start turning. All of a sudden, this guy jumps out of the lane for the ramp (crossing the solid white line) and decides he wants to go straight. It was a 2 lane road and I was able to bring my car to a complete stop in the lane that he wasn't driving in. Then this azzhole decides to turn into me for a head on collision even though he would have been perfectly fine going straight in his lane. I'm pretty sure he did it on purpose just to get some insurance money out of it, but thank god no one was hurt.

Insurance said it was my fault since I was turning left so he automatically had the right of way. Didn't matter that he jumped out of the ramp, crossing the solid white line in the process. My Maxima was totaled and he was able to drive his truck back home. I know it's not exactly the same situation as you, but my point is that people are unpredictable and can do some stupid sh1t sometimes. You have to be careful especially when you are putting yourself in these more high risk situations. Never know when some d1ckhead is gonna get pissed at you and decide he wants to ram your car head on.
