We had a driver charged with an accident after being t-boned at a intersection. A lady was talking on the phone and ran the red light. He failed to clear the intersection doing 40MPH.
Thats possible. Even now i see our drivers try to time the light at an intersection when they should count three seconds and clear the intersection before moving. In your example the other driver is clearly at fault for running the red light. Our driver then is investigated to see if he could have avoided her act of stupidity. Could he have seen her flying up to the intersection and avoided entering the intersection. If he was in the intersection and saw she was coming did he do everything reasonable to avoid the accident such as sounding the horn , flashing his lights stopping safely etc.
Remember you as a ups driver are no longer just another idiot on the road . You are a professional driver that is expected to use good defense driving skills to avoid the other idiots mistakes.
remember too that you will only hear the drivers side of the investigation you will not always hear everything that happened.
