If backing out of your driveway you come to a full stop at the end of it because you see another car coming and the other car hits you while your bumper is still on your own driveway who ist at fault.?

It depends. Which bumper is still in your driveway, your front or rear? Did the other car leave the roadway and hit your car? After you came to a full stop did you then proceed to back out and then got hit? If any part of your car was in the roadway then it would most probably be your fault. Any vehicle that is entering into traffic from a driveway is required to yield the right of way to those vehicles traveling within the roadway. If you stuck 2 inches of your car into the road and you were hit, it would be your fault.

How do you replace a rear bumper on Mazda tribute?

The bumper COVER can be replaced very easily with the correct tools (the actual bumper is located underneath the bumper cover). I used a torx driver, a Phillips and and two small sockets to remove my bumper cover. On a 2001 Tribute there are two screws in each of the wheel wells, one at the top of the bumper cover and one at the bottom that you need to remove. Then remove the four torx screws located under the lift gate and the bolts holding on the two pads. Underneath there are 4 connectors that are removed by backing out the screw in the middle and then pulling out the connector.

Be sure that all the edges are free and you have not missed any connections.

At this point the only thing holding the bumper cover on are two guide pins on either side of the vehicle. You can remove the cover by sliding it to the rear over the guide pins until it is free (about 3-5 inches).

The actual BUMPER is now exposed and can be removed by removing the bolts that hold it on.

To replace the parts just reverse the above procedure.

Most any auto parts store can sell you a repair manual for around $25 that will show the details of how to do this and many other things.
