Well if the cars' motor stops then yes it could be considered broken down
Sure you can.
unfortunate for the owner of the slider, they are responsible.
The fact that the car is parked illegally or not has no bearing on who is at fault. The car that slid down the slope is at fault.
I believe the owner of the car that slid down would be responsible since it's the driver's responsibiltiy to ensure the car is parked securely. And since the car did slide down, then the insurance company is likely to say that car wasn't parked properly.
You can get caught if you hit a parked car and leave if there are witnesses. Also, forensic evidence can be used to track you down.
As long as the parked vehicle is parked properly and not illegally parked in any manner, then the vehicle that rear-ended the parked car is at fault. Now if the parked car is sitting illegally (such as double parked or parked in a no parking zone, etc.) then the parked car is at fault or even both the parked car AND the car that hits it are BOTH at fault.
The owner of the illegally parked vehicle may be ticketed, but the "at fault" driver is responsible for the damages to the parked vehicle.
The nouns are :- car hill brakes
The car that rolled into the parked car is at fault.
It would be the car who had parked illegally because he was not parked in a legal spot.
If a car is parked (so it wasnt moving, standing still), the other car is in fault.
When a moving car hits a parked car, energy is transferred from the moving car to the parked car. The kinetic energy of the moving car is transferred to the parked car, causing it to move. Some energy is also converted into other forms, like sound and heat, during the collision.
