It is moving in a negative direction, such as backing out of a driveway or parking space.
Yes.If the car is backing up, but slowing down, then its velocity is in the negative direction, and its acceleration is in the positive direction.
BOTH drivers are at fault for backing without caution. If the accident occurred in a driveway on private property, no ticket was probably issued. Turn it over to your insurance companies.
I would say probably the person backing out, as they should of looked for any oncoming cars before backing out. ---- The person backing out of the driveway who did not yield to oncoming traffic.
The person backing out of the driveway.
A turnabout
An example of deceleration, which is negative acceleration, is a car slowing down to stop at a red light. The car's speed is decreasing as it approaches the traffic signal, indicating negative acceleration.

The car that is moving is normally the one at fault. No matter how someone is positioned you should not drive into them (going forward or in reverse). It therefore seems to me that the car backing out of the driveway is at fault.
Generally, the one who was backing out of the driveway, because they are the one with duty to yield and also because they had the "last clear chance" to avoid the accident.
The car in motion is ALWAYS at fault when it hits a stationary vehicle.
The backing vehicle appears to be at fault - they should have been looking behind them to see what was happening there and seen the car coming out of the driveway.The car coming out of the driveway would have had their attention in the other direction, looking for oncoming traffic.
