I didn’t think three cars is enough to create a gridlock, but what do I know. Yesterday three very ‘creative’ drivers managed just that right in front of me.
I wish I had a picture to share as it was that special. I don’t, so here is a schematic for your enjoyment, horror, disgust, or perhaps lols as the younglings like to say these days.
Seems like 2 was the asshole here. 1 was waiting for 3, and 2 likely wasn't paying attention.
Having seen it unfold, I’d struggle to assign the blame to a single party, because they were all dumber than the others. Here is how it happened:
I’d argue #2 is completely at fault as they pulled out into the path of 3, who had right over way over 2 and 1.
1 had to wait for 3. They might have been overcautious but there might have been something going on down the road where 3 was coming from that wasn’t visible to the others.
2 was supposed to wait until their exit is clear before moving.
