There was a thread like this before not so long ago here.
Once again, do not be nice. Results in accidents like this. Caught this on my way home. Now "nice guy" who let that Camry in is, technically, at fault for the accident.
Also not sure, why sites keep rotating pics.

Don't know what you're talking about and can't look at sideways photo.

I see that all the time here in SC...that "niceness" gets more people into trouble...I'll let someone in/thru but if its a street like that I'll just let you be mad at me for not leaving a gap while I pity your inability to count the number of lanes that must be clear in order to pass.

Small thumbnail photo is sideways but larger photo displayed is oriented correctly.

The funny thing is most of those who want to be nice and cause the accident with 2 other drivers will probably drive away like nothing happened so they won't face justice

When I visit WI cars always stop for bikers even though they have the right of way. Honestly I'd rather they just obeyed the traffic laws and made me wait. I can take care of myself.. besides I run stop signs and don't follow the traffic laws on my road bike perfectly anyways.

Now I can see the photo.

So, what happened is, someone let the Camry in, and the Camry went through traffic without knowing if someone else might be coming?

Honestly, the Camry is to blame. Would you just blast through a line of traffic without knowing if someone else was coming? Just because someone waved you through?

The Camary probably got the "Okay" wave by the person sitting at the light, and took their word that the coast was clear

There are some that will yes.

You also need to keep an eye out for people that are afraid to drive, their behavior is similar to overly polite people.

Fearful Drivers are the Greatest Ignored Danger on the Road

When I had my CDL, I was taught to ignore people waving you on, and to never wave anyone by. The latter, I was told, would possibly get me held liable for any accidents that happen because I did it. I still practice those in a regular car.

I saw one yesterday. Two lanes each direction, center turn lane. Person in right lane waves a car on that was waiting to cross over the road as in go left. Car pulls out and does not pay any attention to the left hand lane. Car comes up the left hand lane and T-bones the crossing car.
