    You hit a parked car - you already knew it was there as you had noted it when pulling out. If you were unable to get around it then you shouldn't have tried in the first place.

    The duty of care tends to lie with the driver who is reversing - this bump is your fault - being illegally parked does not give you the right to hit them without redress.

    There was a lot of rain which had formed on my wing mirror adjacent to the illegally parked car.

    :rotfl: That's a good 'un.. :D

    We must all stop driving then, each time it rains?.. :)

    !!!!!!, if you can't see then for pity's sake don't carry on driving.
    Stop and wipe if off.If people are impatient. Tough.
    Make them wait.
    If you can't see you can't drive.
    What if there had been a child fallen down?

    Actually READ what I initially posted.

    I'm thinking you read the topic title and made your mind up.

    Hmmm, I'm not sure it's black and white.

    If someone was speeding and you pulled out in front of them, it would probably be their fault for example.

    I would certainly give full info to your insurer and see what they say.

    No it would not, you pulled out in front of another vehicle and caused the accident.

    That is three posts that you have decided to insult people, you asked a question people have given you quite reasonable answers, just because they are not what you want to hear don't start insulting people, try reading the forums rules about etiquette.

    I read your entire self-pitying post. You are at fault, cough up or give him your insurance details. Stop being a whiner.

    And I would suggest to YOU to read the rules you preach about...but clearly do not have a clue about.
