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

Well actually, I think it's better to think of it this way:
"Always expect everyone else to follow the rule 'Me first' when driving" :p: |
expect to be paying man.

I always try to park in a manner where I can either drive straight out of the spots, or don't bother with parking in a place I need to back into. I'll walk a block extra if need be!
|
I have a set of portable severe tire damage strips I lay out across the parking lot before I pull out. Once I've backed out of the spot I pick them up, toss them back in my trunk and off I go. Problem solved.
It's rediculous that the person who has greater visibility shouldn't have to yeald right of way. Even when I back into a spot, If theres a GMC yukon to my left, and a hummer to my right, how the heck am I supposed to see oncoming traffic before pulling out? All I see is sheet metal. |

Law should be changed, where people backing out of a spot have the right of way. But not going to happen, and if it does, I doubt anyone would bother and it certainly would never get enforced. |

in german they have a phrase, it translates to:
"here lies mrs mueller, she had the right of way." always assume the other driving is an absolute idiot. |
My husband taught me something he learned in Iraq. Hit your emergency flashers and hit your horn before slowly backing out. Usually if a driver is paying attention the flashers do the trick. I use that whether I'm driving my 8 or his Sahara. I get soem strange looks but it seems to work. I also "battle park" when I can, (pulling through to the other spot so that you can pull directly out of it). I take a walk around the car from rear to front and check for traffic, door dings, and "boogey men" even in broad daylight before I get in my car to leave.
Sorry to hear about the incident. I was in the same situation, but I wasn't moving and had someone back into me. The other driver lied and said I was trying to pass. It ended up being no fault.. |
well i just recently was askin ppl that saw and every single 1 says she was goin hella fast so i guess that can translate to being her fault.. i hope at least
