It’s a 4 lane road - two lanes in each direction. It happened on Spit Brook rd in Nashua NH. Driver A was in the right most lane turning into a 7-eleven. Driver B was in the lane next to driver A. Before turning right Driver first turned left and this put the front of Drivers A car into the lane next to theirs. Driver B clipped the front of Driver’s A car. I was driving in same direction up the hill about 5 cars lengths behind. I stopped also and we waited for police. The driver in Car A couldn’t understand what they did wrong. Driver A was charged with the accident.
I would agree with that. Visibility in today’s cars SUVs and pickups are atrocious. Absolutely rubbish.

Ok, I think I understand it, up to that last part.
But how did B end up clipping the front of A?
My gut, and not my damaged brain mind you, suggests the opposite occuring.
I can competely see A turning left into, and clipping B, (perhaps because A did not see B?), but not B clipping A.
Car A was turning right..but before turning right Car A turned left (I guess for a wider turn). That brought the car into the lane Car B was driving in.
Good reason, let’s just hope no one is in the crosswalk of the street they are drifting into…
Still doesn’t make sense. B was in the lane to the left of right-turning A.
If B was slightly ahead of A, and A swung left before turning right, B did not clip A. A ran into B.
Or, if A was half or more car-length ahead of B, A would have, by swinging left before turning right, clipped B’s right-hand quarter.
I guess it depends on who was ahead of, or abaft of, who in which lane.
It is not complicated.
If you grew up with the issues I had to, it would be complicated to understand.
Driver “A” made an unsafe lane change and clipped vehicle “B”.
If driver “A” claims to have been clipped by vehicle “B”, driver “A” is attempting to deny responsibility.

You know that shell game where a pea is placed under one of three cups, the hawker mixes the cups up and then you have to guess which cup the pea is under?
From what you have told us, I truly believe you would be confused if there was only one cup…
^^^THIS^^^ makes more sense and is what I thought happened.
Thank you Nevada!

Perhaps he got B & A reversed, something I (ADHD, dyslexia, dyscalculia, post-traumatic from parents fighting over alcoholism, busted-in back door, memory-impaired) do quite often.
Man, I sincerely and honestly wish that both you and Volvo had been exposed to, and subjected to, before and after I was born, and dealt with during my first decade or so on Earth everything that happened to me.
Perhaps then you’d get what every day life continues to be like for me.
I scrub my right rear tire in at least 3/5 right-hand turns, in several cars I’ve driven, and with varying radius of corner curbs.
Again, as I pointed out too many times here, I have….
issues!
Several months ago, you were consistently combative, and your inappropriate responses to forum members who disagreed with you included implications that they were… let’s just say… not smart. That bizarre behavior led to your extended suspension from the forum.
Now, you are asking for empathy from the same people who you attacked–multiple times.
I have health problems and I am mature enough that my wish is that no one else has to find out just how unpleasant they can be.

So, what do want us to do? We were not and are not the cause of your long and continued suffering. None of this disapproval would have been created around your postings if you were not always blaming circumstances or others for your difficulties.
Bluntly, you are a chronic complainer who habitually expresses dissatisfaction, negativity, and grievances about many aspects of your life, often focusing on problems rather than solutions and viewing yourself as a victim of circumstance. It’s a mindset where you perceive yourself as a perpetual victim and you often seek validation or attention by highlighting your suffering. And you are the King of “One-Downsman” where you respond to someone else’s negative experience by immediately sharing a worse one of your own, turning the conversation into a competition of suffering.
… and if he hadn’t made personal attacks against several forum members because they had a different opinion than he does.
