Damn. That was a bad crash. Once again, so glad you are OK! I noticed the airbag did not deploy! What gives!?

All airbags were deployed. You see the white smog inside the car at the end of video is airbag deployment gas.

Yeah that’s a knee bag. It’s nice to see all these safety features but also sad to see a beautiful car in this shape.

This looked pretty bad. Good things you had a dashcam on your old car. The car ignored the red light?

Recorded in 1080 but the youtube video is only max 480.

My Blackvue 900s records in 4k and you can read the license plate of the car in front of you easier even when it's driving away.

I lowered down the resolution because I didn't want unnecessary information to be published in public.

I just uploaded the video because other guys wanted to see it and I am planning to bring it down soon.

It's hard to tell from the video but it looks like you never saw the other car coming. Sucks.

I was thinking the same. You can't tell in the video that the steering wheel was turned or the brakes were applied to avoid the accident.

The problem with such things as this video (especially in a more serious accident where major personal injury or death has occurred) is the other party's insurance argues (after viewing the video) that even though their client did not have the right-of-way, the other driver totally failed to [try to] avoid having the accident by turning the steering wheel or applying the brakes, or both. And, but for the other party's negligence the accident likely never would have happened, had he been driving responsibly.

[Note: I'm just suggesting that this video could be used against him in a legal fight where there was serious personal injury or death instead of just property damage...]
