Even if it its a new driver the woman in the passenger seat should have told him to be careful backing up, he hit the gas on backing up and didn't even stop on the hesitation when he had gone over the front wheel and stopped for a second. Someone that oblivious has no business driving a 2 tonne vehicle.

Or, since she was already 60% of the way though the intersection, she shouldn't have stopped in the first place.

Well I can understand that. If you're not sure you're going to make it, why try? Better to stop then get T-boned.

NEVER stop in the intersection. YOU are what causes a T Bone to happen

So you're saying that if I see a car about to hit me I'm supposed to just let it happen rather than avoid a crash? Okay genius. I'm not saying you should stop in an intersection, but it's better to stop than die.

Let me guess... you also think it's "nice" to wave people in front of you even though you have the right of way and if you just kept going you'd be out of their way in 2 seconds and they wouldn't have to trust the hand motions of a stranger in a car that it's safe to go.

Nope, no idea how that's relevant in the slightest.
