--yes but like all accidents like these, it is circumstantial; if person A is backing out, person B is flying by @ 20+ mph, person A checks everywhere & sees nothing and proceeds to back out. they are then hit by car A who is at fault for 'not able to control his/her vehicle'. if both are going proper speeds & it is just a bump, it is definitely A's fault, cuz B has the right of way
in the event that one person was backing out and the person was driving by instead of backing out as well, then chances are the person backing out will be found at fault unless proof can be shown that vision was impaired by an item out of the control of the driver.... or of course unless other specific circumstances are present.
I had a friend who got a ticket for backing out of a driveway. It was not in a neighborhood, it was on a 'regular' road. He didn't cause a wreck or anything, but a policeman was driving by and turned around and came back to give him a ticket. Told him it was illegal to back out into a road.
The person at fault would be the one backing into a parking space. Because they are going to look at it as, your supposed to pull into the parking space front first, not backing in. So it would be your fault. But I'm sure that both of you would get a ticket or something else, because they hit you, and you are violating parking lot conduct.
The one "moving" in reverse.
If one car is in motion and the other is parked, (not in motion) then the car in motion is the only one that can be at fault. We are supposed to look first before we place the car in motion.
That's the decision of a police officer or a judge.
the car that is backing out because they have to yield because the others have the right of way.
The person backing out.
Both at fault.
Any time the driver who is backing is at fault, in all 50 states.
The guy that is walking.
both of you for not looking back
You are.
The person backing out. If you were in the lane/road behind them they needed to use caution when backing out.
If you are driving the backing car, no matter WHERE the other cas is located, YOU are the one at fault if you collide with it.
Your mum, Steve.
The person who is backing out of the parking space
both because ur not quick enough ;) the other guy is thick cos he drove into you!! So more his fault!!
Its logical.........the person who backed out while the other person was at it!
The driver backing up. Unless you can prove the other car was driving unsafly.
The person backing out of the lot. Cars in the travel lane have right of way.
