Mine taught me to assume that every car on the road is trying to hit you. Because mostly they are lol....especially on the interstate.

Good advice. I pay attention the tires.

Your dad was a wise man. Many thanks to him to have taught you right.

Ok, that’s cute, but it’s still the other person’s fault lol

I asked my dad to teach me to drive and he said.. no one taught him so learn by yourself. Some dad i got.

she was very condescending and no way a cop saw it from so far away he asked her what happened and wrote it down she wasn't to sure about the cameras thats why she called her brother he assumed that she was giving him leeway when he looked at her but she probably was not paying attention he was at fault but u always have to pay attention to people and kids and be ready to stop

"Owned up to his mistake" is an odd way of saying he completely lied about the entire situation. Enough to have his mom call the defendant up and make crazy threats and for this to eventually make its way to COURT. Kid didnt own up to anything - he was forced to tell the truth when undisputable visual evidence was produced to the judge and he was confronted with it.

@@Eros4tw I think he was just confused but ok

@@shannaholmes833 Confused about the street and direction he was riding his bike? Even after making a statement to the police? Ok.

They didn't make a mistake, he was a wreckless driver and not only caused damage to the woman's vehicle without apology, but even dragged the woman to court.

I thought he was just clueless but you’re probably right.

@@thebalderthor4884 I agree, he was clueless.

Maybe the kid isn't lying. Im 28 and wouldn't be able to tell you if im going north, east, south, or west.

@@WesleyLindsey You’re 28 and couldn’t tell someone the street you were on? Don’t ever drive or ride a bike, what a mess.

@@LeeoGoneWild sorry they’ve developed technology over the last 50 years WEIRDO

I agree. They really pushed the wrong message here. I always look anyway just because you never know who is coming or why

I think dad knew the truth! Teaching a child to lie and cheat isn't a good thing.

It would have been nice of her to pay for his bike.

Yes, I would agree but he was talking in context of "negligence". It wasn't on the onus of the driver to be on the lookout for someone going the wrong way... Glad you're vigilent. :) Stay safe.

@fractode I have as well. I have seen plenty of drivers drive the wrong way on one way streets. Also, in DC, some of the primary streets, change direction during rush hours. People drive in the wrong lanes all the time.

I went the wrong way down a one way street while on vacation just a month ago. It is not hard to do if you are new to an area. I blamed the GPS but it was probably my fault.

@@jonguyton1 Did the same thing in a new area with no clear signs. Thankfully it was a residential area which kept my speed low and the guy I eventually met coming the other way told me kindly that it was a one-way and not to feel bad about it because it happened regularly with out-of-towners. Still felt bad about it though.

Too bad they didn't put that kind of effort into your grammar.

@@DonziGT230 but you UNDERSTOOD what I said. Go find GOD.

My mother did to me when I was hit by a car, I was following my older brother and he said go… thankfully the only thing sore was my rear and the poor lady driver confidence

My parents would ground me. The sore body would be punishment

And your parents are abusive.

Dad didn’t have to look stupid. There was a police report. He just had to read it.

Are you that blind? His father WANTED him to lie. Go back a listen. Watch the father's micro facial expressions!! The poor kid didn't want to be there and didn't want to lie!! It was more than obvious that the FATHER WHO WENT AND TOOK PICTURES was lying.

You need to teach your kids honesty and the fact that this man did not want to admit his kid was lying to his face is his fault. Parents need to teach children to have respect for society!

Parents also don’t want to believe that their children will lie to get out of trouble. Instead of researching and investigating the issue, they just believe in a very biased and one sided story. Parents will fight tooth and nail in support of their child, but when all is said and done, and the child is caught lying, a parent will offer a simple apology. The problem is, the parent spent months, if not years trying to make the other party look bad, and discredit everything they said, but will only take a few seconds to apologize, and be done with everything. Parents need to “Parent” and discipline more, while gathering all of the non biased facts, instead of being one sided. Teach your kids responsibility, instead of always defending their bad actions. We were all teenagers at some point, and we’ve all told white lies, if not more. We know that when the story gets going, it can quickly spiral out of control, and involve innocent parties. Parents need to have discipline for their children, along with love and moral support. The youth would be in a much better place today, and feel far less entitled to everything, if parents had better parenting skills at home. Get to the truth of a situation, not just the words coming out of your kids mouth. Yes, it’s hard, but it needs to be done.

Simply reading the police report since it has all the correct information in it would have been a terrific idea for the father....then he would not look stupid in court!!

Really? Not really.

Poor baby? More like lying baby. Please you’re like 17. Your memory is intact. You’re just a liar.

What lesson did his father teach him that was wrong?

@@icetrain11 seems to me to avoid taking responsibility and everything is a money grab

@@icetrain11 the lesson would be known where the accident took place and tell the truth. There’s no way that allllllll this time before court that he couldn’t go back to the spot or at least figure out which road he was on. Lies lies lies.

@@Lolalenice same thoughts. Honestly made me furious idk why.

A cop who's friends with her brother who's a police officer lol.

Yes Mary Kay, dollar signs in her eyes...they sued for 230 bucks.

@@cr3938 I was talking about the mother during the phone call. I was not talking about the father who brought the case.

@@cr3938 If that was the case I think she would have sued for thousands (emotional distress)

@@Trich-nf2zf the kid confirmed that the police report was accurate. The defendant never said her brother was a cop in the same town. There’s no reason to assume the cop pulled anything shady here.

Only reason he didn't have a Stop 🛑 Sign is because he was going in the wrong direction

Kid didn't even know which road he was on and where he was heading. Glad he's ok.

The kids a liar. He didn’t learn a lesson. He got caught.

it's disappointing that this wasn't explained. This father has no clue that his son on a bike is not a pedestrian. But a lot of parents be telling their kids to purposely ride against traffic, which clearly only works if you get off your bike and walk through intersections, but no kids gonna do that.

No they dont! Dont know where you get that nonsense from but a cyclist is not a vehicle and being that he was hit at a four way stop, he had the right of way as a pedestrian . Maybe you need to learn the laws. Now, I have seen this judge do some wild things because this isnt real court and is arbitration so she doesnt have to use the laws in deciding her case . She tries to use the laws as a crutch in some cases but this is not court. If the dad was smart, he would have found him the most useless lawyer on the planet and would have forced her insurance to pay for all his care with non deductible . I too was hit off a bike in a simlar situation and I know I got 20k out of it and my lawyer got 10k. Pedestrians always have the right of way at a four way stop and a cyclist is not bound by any stop sign or road code

I want someone to cuss him out so bad

Cause wtf he meant by that O'Dell beckam comment?

@@misseazar4250...they just block 🚫 out those people who curse at him. They are told that they can film the scene again, with no curses, or they will be removed completely. Blessings!!!!!

Or he was mislead by a kid put up to it by mom

Wondered if anyone else heard that! Maybe that's why the kid changed his story a bunch of times, trying not to get in trouble... I feel bad for the kid, he gets hit by a car and dragged into court by his dad and trying to answer all these questions. That's hard at 16.

I think the kid was "dead" for lying to his dad in the first place. The brother who was there is gonna get it, too, because he backed up the story. I don't see any nefarious ploy by the father. They were suing for $238.88 - that's hardly a "scheme" or money grab. I honestly think dad believed his son, and was teaching him to stand up for what's right by utilizing the legal system.

They couldn’t even take 10min out of their busy lives to go to the intersection and build a case. Or maybe they did and realized they had nothing and hoped to play the race card at some point. Lmao!

He was merely correcting a technicality

@@biruss No. If he were, he wouldn’t have had so much attitude. He was hilariously overacting.

He was clearly losing the case. The son had lost almost all credibility because he was inconsistent with his testimony about which street he was going down. The father was desperate for anything to make the defendant look unreliable.

I like how she just calmly said it could have been basketball. And didn't make an argument out of it. Because that wasn't even the point of the whole phone conversation.

I'm curious, what made him look guilty? Be sides a blk man and son in a fake courtroom.

His people usually look and r guilty

He was honestly mistaken and deceived. Blame the mother. I can see why she's an EX-wife

Yes he did

Play the system? For $200 something dollars? I highly doubt it. I think this case was bought to court on principle alone. The parents really thought it was the defendant’s fault based off the testimony that was given to them by their son. Yes, the son was wrong about his placement during the accident but they could only believe what they were told

@@coquittam1012 Rubbish the parents had the same evidence as the defendant. The only story that wasn't supported was the ridiculous version they created.

Yes agreed. thats what he should have done.

I blame lying mom tricking Dad.

They sued for 200 odd bucks, hardly money grabbers. Money grabbers normally sue for the maximum or silly pain and suffering, which they didn't. They deserved to lose the case because it seemed the kid was at fault, they really should have gone over what really happened before suing.

He won't be when they get home.

Kid, and his family, are money hungry con artists.

@@jsims1617 i guess you're not glad he's ok...

@@Spankmepink I don't know. The dad seems pretty chill, and a whole head shorter than his son.

@@AishaBrownIsMe Didn't say that. Just that they are scammers.

Lol I love JJ…. She would have had this case solved in 3 minutes.

@@aprilmccain3149 Maybe 1min 🤣🤣

Skin tone gave away his guilt

That's why he didn't see the Stop 🛑 because he was going in the WRONG DIRECTION

He is a kid and confused calm down

@@therob827 I was typing words how am I not calm? With that snowflake crap out the way, he was most likely being coached by his dad so they could win some money from a civil suit

@@joejoerobinson8724 oh okay

He ain't confused riding that " Fix " irrespective of the legal flow of traffic ⛔, again he's lucky he didn't get seriously injured period

A payday? He sued for $238.88 lol

A payday of less than $300. You are reaching and it’s pitiful. Stop trying to get brownie points and make sure Trumps wall never gets built.

😆

there isn't going to be a stop sign for the kid if he's traveling against traffic, so I don't see his Dad's argument making sense ever, even if there was a stop sign on the street the kid was on, that's why the kid didn't see a stop sign!

It may not be a four way stop sign though. In my state, sometimes there is a stop sign for one side but not the other.

I do the exact same thing! I love listening to PC on my trip to and from work each day.. but sometimes you just need to see the people's expressions/mannerisms to fully get the picture.

Lol me as well! Old school way of entertainment

Bad parents 'enable' their grown children even when they are in the wrong!!

That's true for walking, but NOT for riding a bike. Bicycles are vehicles so they should go WITH the traffic.

I thought it was the same as cars are going.

He didn’t say it wasn’t a good thing to do. He said it doesn’t make one LEGALLY NEGLIGENT. You all need to learn the fucking difference between your feelings and THE LAW.

@@ct6410 ...why are you getting all hot and angry at Jeremiah? They are just stating thier opinion. It's valid. It's also a very good suggestion. No, it's not legally negligent to not do it....but it's a very good thing to do, for everyone's safety. Try to calm down, and raise your blood pressure. It's the easiest way to have a stroke. That's one thing I admire of the Defendant. She came in and explained her case in a very calm way. She didn't get worked up in any way. She knew that she had done the right thing. Blessings!!!

@Jeffrey Berry I would have liked to have seen the father face the music sooner that his son was being dishonest. The dad for the longest was not trying to be objective, you could tell his mind was made up to believe his son’s story until after the verdict. It is okay to admit that your child is lying, acknowledge it & keep guiding them

@@captainsolo1719 he said you're dead

Kid was definitely lying. When he first told the story he switched places with the defendant, putting himself on the road with the right of way and the defendant on the road with the stop.

I agree 💯

It's good that you do look both ways, but it's not a legal requirement on a one-way street. You have a reasonable expectation that folks will obey the traffic laws and not be morons. Sadly, there's a lot of morons out there.

That's right. Save you from being T boned

Exactly!

TRUTH... Especially what you said about that green light.. But we live in a world where ppl see a yield sign and speed up lol

He's talking legally though. If there's an accident with someone going the wrong way, you wouldn't legally be a fault like you would if someone was going the right way. Likewise, any accident is legally the fault of people running the red light

Yep, I caught that too. It sounds like he said, "you are dead".

@@projectfelicite941 right it did sound like that smh

"You know you're dead". Smh. According to judge judy, kids lie when their mouths are moving. If he was a good dad he would have gotten the police report, read it and saw the discrepancies before embarrassing himself on national tv.

Any parent would tell their kid to be more careful after an accident, so no, it doesn't mean they knew from the get go. However they should have known before going to court.

Yes, it's prudent to do so, but you are not obligated to do so by the law, and therefore not responsible for detecting wrong way traffic. I think that's what he's getting at.

His voice.

@@bobbaloobop I believe that Christopher was saying he loves HER voice...The Defendant's. Correcting people causes more confusion, then if you would just let things be. The Defendant does have a nice voice. Blessings!!!

The defendant doesn't need a defence. She had the right of way, and won the court case

You welcome 😉

Dad realized kid and Mom lied to him.
