Who is at fault when a car reversing out of a driveway into a public road hits a car who has just backed out and about to move forward?
Here are several opinions from FAQ Farmers: * Always always always the person behind. There are so many reasons you might not see someone behind you, but you should always see the person in front and give them enough room, no matter what they are doing. This is pretty much the view of the insurance companies, too. * The car behind is not necessarily At Fault if the car in front is backing up! But if one car is moving and the other is not, 99.99% of the time the moving vehicle is at fault. Think about it. How can a car that is stationary run into anything?

What are the laws on parking on a public street blocking driveway access in Cincinnati Ohio?
I have had cars towed for blocking my driveway. It is the city's responsibility to tow cars that are on a public road that block driveways. If someone blocks your driveway, don't call 911. Call your district police station and either they will put the call out or will direct you to the correct number. It may take up to two hours to get a tow truck to your place. However, if someone parks in your driveway, I think it's your responsibility to get someone to tow that car.
