What is quaintly known in the UK as Knock for knock. Equal blame, equal responsibility.
Yup. Both of you are at fault, and will most likely have to use your own insurance to repair your cars.
Its logical.........the person who backed out while the other person was at it!
I would be interested to see how this plays out. I know my dad was backing out of a parking space slowly because he had two larger cars on either side of him and a driver was driving down the lane in the parking lot and rearended him. The other driver didnt stop for at least 20 feet so he was going pretty fast, but they still gave my dad the ticket for unsafe backing. But if both of you were backing out in a parking lot I dont know how that would play out. Did you guys call the cops? I suppose the cop could have given you both a ticket for unsafe backing??
when i started backing up i was just two feet into the parking lot when some other car honked and the car backing out on the other side proceeded out into the lot because she said she had perission to keep going
Neither and both, you could argue that the car travelling fastest at the point of impact was to blame as it was the most out of control. But difficult to prove. Most likely taken as knock for knock.
Who ever was backing first should have had the right of way.
Should it ever get to court, most judges will assign split negligence to both drivers, although the pressumption is that the driver backing out of the driveway is supposed to be looking both ways up and down down the street.
Yes, both cars are traveling at a constant speed of 40 mph.
the force of two bumper cars colliding is that they push on each other can forms a force
Generally you are both equally at fault unless (1) it can be shown that one of the drivers did something that was negligent or (2) if it can be proven that one of the drivers had a clear opportunity to avoid the accident and chose not to.
