yes....i agree. When you are pulling out into traffic there is no way you can see far enough or gauge correctly when you have all the traffic going 45, there is no way you can judge whats happening with an incoming car going 75 weaving through the pack...the brain just cant do that while also multitasking and operating the vehicle.
Some people might have caugh that with their peripheral vision (believe it or not the detection actually occurs in a DIFFERENT PART OF THE BRAIN) that is not directly connected to the conscious mind. This is meant to give us the ability to react quicker with instinct but some times it has the reverse effect...you get about a .5 second delay in reacting because you are completing complex tasks, not just physicially dodging something......however the people who would have had the capability of catching that would be professional drivers, atheletes, marksman, baseball players, maybe some of us car enthusiasts, video game players etc.
A mom in a mini van....no, she would not have had the capacity. Anyone with ANY distraction in the car also would not have had the capacity to detect it.
Fault is clearly the white z....but its also just bad luck. She was speeding a little and just happen to come upon the wrong intersection at the wrong time...at precisly the time she was also being a dumb *** and operating a cell phone.....you play with stupid...you get burned.
