We've all been there.
We're sitting in rush hour traffic, and it's been bumper to bumper for what feels like hours.
Now a person in on-coming traffic wants to make a left in front of your car.
So, you decide to be helpful. You aren't going anywhere anyway.
So you stop, and you don't move forward in traffic when the car in front of you does, opening a path for the person wanting to make a left across both lanes of on-coming traffic.
You give a polite wave to the person letting them know they can cross in front of you.
But, there's a car traveling in the lane to your right that doesn't see the turning car, and the turning car doesn't see it.
So the driver making the left doesn't see the car, turns in front of it, and gets t-boned.
You can't be sued or held responsible for this accident, can you? You were just trying to be nice.
In the article below, we will talk about your responsibility in a car accident if you deice to wave a car through.
