accident
 

okay i was backin out of my parking space at school and as i was backing out a girl didnt stop an kept drivin i ended scraping tha side of her car really bad and the back left of my bumper sccrstched up..not sure whos fault. ne1 wanna help me out on that. my reverse lights ad been on for a god period of time so does she yield to me or me to her ?

Your fault
She had the right of way


Sorry to hear about the car

YOUR fault.

unfortunately whenever you are backing up, it is NEVER your right of way. You must yield to stupid people who obviously saw you backing out but refuse to be courteous so they keep driving and then you end up hitting them.
Ask me how I know.... :banghead:

that sucks bro... good luck

Yep, when backing up, you never have the right of way, it sucks. Specially in large garages where nobody stops and vision is very limited, especially when everyone drives SUVs and parks em around you -.-

Always back in, Always. I'd rather pay a 20 dollar ticket occasionally than to risk getting hit by someone or worse... hitting a child I couldn't see.

P.S. Pull in laws are stupid.

I agree with this, I typically try to back in and I park far away from the 'crowd' of cars

That would be YOUR fault. She had the right of way.

Can you really get a ticket for backing into a spot? In which state is this a law?

Stay in School.

awwww crap. get the car fixed & move on. the way she's driving, she'll get hers soon enough.

sorry to hear about the damage to your car.

:sad: yes, that's your fault. however, if you had any witnesses that could testify to her driving recklessly..or in this case reck-fully, you could possibly get it to be 50/50.

I thing I noticed since moving to SoCal is the absolute rudeness of people when it comes to letting people back out of spaces. I can't tell you how often I'd be 1/2 out when some ass with a death wish goes flying behind me in the parking lot and sometimes even honking at me for his/her douchness.

it's the same as being on the freeway and trying to switch lanes. they'll swirv around you even when your half way in :icon_no2: it's the land of douche bag drivers

I have never heard of a backing into a spot ticket. Where do you live

I know that apartment complexes will ask the tenants not to back into so your exhaust isn't 6ft away from someone's open window. Other than that, I don't know.

you got it!

:beer05:

i know in some places they don't want you to back in because not all people have front plates

That's when you click the red button and deploy the trunk missile launchers. :D:

screw everyone, I always back in and havent had a ticket yet and Ive lived in 4 states in the past 2 years! lol (NJ, IL, IA, CA)

Your fault. sorry.

Thats why I almost always back-in whenever possible. too many assholes/morons around.

Your fault.

Defensive driving says you should never expect people to brake when they have the right of way.

Correct me if I'm wrong but from my understanding, backing in to park is only illegal when the exhaust is facing a pedestrian walkway, so this regulation probably does not apply to parking lots.

Really? Honestly, it seems that in today's world it's more of:

"You should never expect people to brake no matter who has the right of way or what the circumstances are."
