Look in ALL directions and yield to ANY oncoming traffic.
You are at fault.
A vehicle traveling in a parking lot has established use of the lane and the right of way. A vehicle in a parking space and backing into the lane must yield to oncoming traffic. Therefore, if a vehicle is backing out of a parking space and pulls into the path of an oncoming vehicle that has already established the lane, the vehicle backing would be at fault for the accident. However, if the vehicle which established use of the lane had an opportunity to avoid hitting the vehicle backing out of the space and failed to do so, there could be comparative negligence on both vehicles or on the one who had the opportunity to avoid the accident.
both of you for not looking back
Backing up--it is your fault.
The person driving on the straightaway/ roadway. Backing out of a driveway or parking spot is the same as a stop sign. The right of way belongs to the person on the road.
It sounds like the other vehicle was at fault for improper backing, but each state is different and some are no-fault states. Still, if you were in the roadway or parking lot ailse, then you are considered to have right of way. It is incumbent on the other vehicle to make sure the path is clear before backing into traffic.
The person backing out I am asuming other person has finished reversing and is leaving if I understood correctly
In most circumstances, the backing vehicle has the greater duty of care and would be found at fault.
Parking sensors are for the driver to be able to tell a proximity of other vehicles and objects around the car. This is a helpful tool if backing out of tight spaces and places that have a lot of things scattered around the vehicle.
The length for parralel parking is 10 ft. longer than your vehicle... I don't know about the others
The vehicle backing up is the one that caused that accident by not looking so they get 99% of the blame. However the other gets1% as they were nOt stopping. BTW did this happen to u?
