I totaled my car, except I was in the civics position -- approaching a green light, where someone had a left on green yield, and they didn't see me coming around the bend. I slammed on my brakes but still hit them. My vehicle was totaled, and the insurance company ended up declaring them at fault, which they obviously were. Moral of the story, don't turn blindly at a yield on green light if you can't see everything coming your way.
