Maybe I'm a cynic when it comes to the internet but with everone professing to be the worlds best driver I wonder......

I'm not the worlds best driver.. but if i damage something then I should pay to sort it!

That's why I always choose really random parking spaces (drives my mates mad but hey who cares.) Miles away from the door and usually with only one space at the side. People are generally lazy, careless and dishonest so you have to try and prevent stuff happening in the first place.

Sometimes if I can't find a space I'm happy with I'll go to another car park.

The thing is when I got there the carpark was empty bar my friends car and it can hold A LOT of cars... I come out and this person is parked right next to me, makes no sense!?

Why can't people just own up if they cause damage, she could of clearly seen the damage she'd caused and now I'm the one who has to foot the bill

Lovely!

Because if they own up then they have to foot the bill.

I left a note on a tatty VW beetle I thought I had damaged (the bumper was sticking out at an extreme angle). Turned out it was already damaged & quite possibly their fault my car got scratched.

That I thought it was my fault when it wasn't & owned up. My car was pretty tatty too though :rotfl:

Instead i'm lumbered with paying for someone elses carelessness.

Ringing around getting some quotes now, hopefully it isn't going to cost me a bomb! I've got the money to sort it but that's not the point

So who's fault was it? You hit a stationary vehicle.

No ones. If his bumper had not been stuck out at a 90 degree angle I would not have hit it. If you can imagine the height of this bumper would have been in the blind spot where you would judge the distance to the other car by the bonnet as the sticking out bumper was hidden by my passenger door.
