If all conditions are equal: such that both parties signaled and backed up in a
'cautious manner' - then the fault would be 50-50. The amount of damage would have no bearing.
It is estimated that over 60 percent of backing-up incidents involve a larger size vehicle. Larger vehicles include SUVs, vans, and trucks.
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??
There is a slight difference between a parking lot and a car park. A parking lot is usually a large space belonging to an establishment for consumers to park their cars in. While a car park serves the same purpose, it is usually larger and multi leveled and can accommodate larger volumes of vehicles.
Yes. Some stores may have areas specifically for larger vehicles to park in so that they're not parked in the main parking lot.
60%
They can. Very large vehicles can have very large blind spots.
It could be a "no fault" situation. If the driver of a vehicle sees a vehicle that is backing they should exercise caution and either sound their horn (to alert the backing vehicle) and/or they should slow or stop or take similar action to avoid or to prevent an accident. Secondly, the person who is backing should only back up when it is safe to do. This may mean getting out to check for any obstacles at the back or side then proceeding if it is safe to do so. And if necessary, stop again, get out and check again. If the person who is backing up happens to be a person with disabilities and may not be able to quickly and easily get in and out of the vehicle to check for obstacles, then before backing, if you noticed a larger vehicle next to yours that will block your view, then ask another person if they would mind being a momentary guide to assist you while you back out of the parking space. Again, in some areas it could be a no fault situation whereas drivers of both vehicles should take actions and steps to prevent or avoid an accident. In other areas it may be required that fault be assessed. In the case of an accident in this kind of situation it may be best to consult with a lawyer, and if there were any witness to have their name and contact information and to give them yours. It is the responsibility of all drivers to drive safely and defensively.
That's where the money is.
Larger brakes = shorter stopping distance.
It depends on how deep the scratch is, a small scratch may be easily covered over by a protective film or layer, a larger scratch though may require a filling. A really large crack will need the whole screen to be replaced
nothing can scratch a diamond other than another diamond with more pure properties such as being more clear, more dense, larger,
At a certain cost, which increases with the size of the vehicle, vehicles are allowed on ferries to France. Portable, small vehicles, such as bicycles, are much easier to accommodate than larger vehicles.
