It's really hard to get in an accident that's "the other person's fault" these days. If both people have collision insurance, then it doesn't matter *at all.* Both people's car insurance goes up, and both people get a new car if they're totalled. Causing a wreck simply ruins the person wrecking and the person receiving the hit.
You learn all kinds of interesting facts when living with a family in the automobile repair business. If you're going through a green light, and a person pulls out in front of you even though you had the right-of-way and hit them, then it's your fault because you didn't stop. I shit you not, that's how insurance companies work.
If a person runs a redlight and you go when it's green and hit them, it's your "fault" because you didn't slow down for them to get through the light.
There really isn't "faults" in automobile accidents anymore -- it's simply having your insurance raised and getting another car. If you wanna cause a wreck, go ahead, but there's not a good chance of it not being "your fault." In car accidents, both parties get the shit end of the stick with the insurance companies reaping the benefit.
