She was another university student, great way to get somebody's number 
Yeah when I got out of the car, I was ready to yell at her for being so ... but when she got out she was already crying so I just gave her the wtf look... I kinda feel bad for calling the police and getting her ticketed, but hopefully she learns from this.

One thing for sure if you didn't read it from the other guys post -- make sure you get the depreciated value of your car! Since your car has an accident on record now, the insurance company owes you the difference your car was worth without the accident and now with the accident. Don't let them slide away without paying like a lot of other people, they owe you that money!
I would also take the other guys advice about going to a certified Lexus dealership to have it repaired.
I'm glad both of you were ok -- and nice camera btw
You've got me thinking about it now, lol.

A very funny thread title and misguiding, definitely not so funny for the OP and the other person involved.I'm sorry it happened but what a coincidence that both were a Lexus ? Wow. Never seen a thread here with 2 Lexus crashing and imagine if both of you are clublexus members
.
The damage doesn't look so bad so you're lucky since you braked early.
Are you the other IS-F owner ?
I could not say for sure at first too that other car was an IS-F , it looked like an ordinary IS, only after more careful inspection did I notice that it was an IS-F through the badge.

There are two cars waiting to turn left off the road into the property and they do not have a stop sign. Doesn't the car leaving the property have to yield and let both of them go first anyway? Or are the rules different where you are? Good reaction time by you though. I barely saw the car move before you hit the brakes.

This is exactly what I was thinking too.
Well the other reason to feel sorry obviously for the OP and anyone would be that the other car was an IS-F , a fellow Lexus. Come on, anyone here would feel sorry for a fellow lexus ??
That was a good one.

I just had a look at the video. This could have happened to anyone. Did you guys notice the big SUV just in front of 149 MAX turning right , there was no way for the IS-F owner to surely see who was coming behind the SUV , so she thought of taking the road , then SLAM !!!

Who me? No sir, I am not, but I wish I could afford an IS-F
It also appears that the sun is very low and causing glare in the direction of the SUV and 149MAX.

But the 2 cars just waited for her to get out didn't they ? Anyways it was just unfortunate. I guess if she had just waited to see who was behind the SUV , this accident could have been avoided. Moral of this post - See and check before crossing. If i was behind the SUV I would have honked much in advance plus I would have anticipated a car to pull out so I would have gone a lot slower with my horns honking anyways at that exact spot.
lol, looks like the 2 ISes just wanted to kiss
This is exactly what happened to some guy's daughter at work. She was driving behind a big truck; the truck turned right into a shopping area, then someone waiting turn left go into the road without knowing there's a car behind the truck.

Well the thing is that the IS-F should not have popped out because of the cars on the main street trying to make a left. Sort of common sense - do not pop out unless it is clear.
wow that sucks. i woulda got out and kicked some tail! if it was a guy.... since it was a lady.... just yell LOL and ask her why didnt she hit me harder so i could get a different car haha
