What an agile truck

I avoided an accident and felt like I barely threaded the needle. It was the kind of accident what sort of has no fault, but if there was a collision, it would have been the other drivers fault since they were entering the main traffic. I had about a truck length to pull off the evasive maneuver and I'm not sure I could have spun the wheel fast enough in another vehicle. As you can see from the telemetry overlay, I did slam on the brakes but I heard tire squeal and felt ABS so I attempted dodge. Definitely would have t-boned that car if I didn't. I'm glad that red truck completed their right turn, giving me space to dodge into.

Unless that was a 20-mph zone and you were flying, that would've absolutely been the Ford's fault turning into oncoming traffic. Failure to yield/ running a stop sign. Glad you were driving a CT in that moment!

Glad it was a nonevent!

That would have been 100% on them. They shouldn’t have proceeded onto the street without clear view of the road. You had the right of way.

I agree that they were at fault and shouldn't have proceeded without clear LOS. It's crazy that a truck as big and eye catching as ours can still be completely blocked by another truck at all those changing angles, right up to the point of near impact. I also couldn't see that Ford from mine and the cameras perspective so while it would have technically been the other drivers fault, it's at least a little understandable how it could happen.

That person needs FSD to drive for them. Good save.

It's a 45mph street so I was going a little under the speed limit. Good to know that at that speed, and 1 car length, you're not stopping to zero on dry pavement. Maybe 2 car lengths would have been enough stopping distance.
