If you cut a red light and the driver has to take an evasive action killing someone else on the street, you in fact caused the accident.

I've never caused an accident but left the motorist in situation where an accident nearly happened! The situation happens quite frequently when a car on the opposite side tries to make a left hook in front of you.

A motorist at night saw me at the last minute and came to a stop right in the middle of the road! I stopped thinking he was going to cross in front of me (Left hook). As a result, another car coming at 40 mph came to a screaching hault. I did not cause this near accident because the motorist should not have made that left hook unless the road was clear. Quite frequently, the motorist will miscalculate your speed and put you in a terrible position.
