  • So not even the CCTV can save me. Looks like I'll have to bite the bullet on this one then...

    It does indeed, bad times. Sucks but I'm sure a lot of us have been there, or almost been there.

    The joys of motoring, eh.

    I have to concur with every one else i'm afraid (apart from suggesting to reverse in). Your 'right of way' ends the first time you pulled into the space, meaning that you should of allowed the TP to drive past you before revering out again. Just as you would (or should do) entering a driveway off a road.
    PLEASE NOTE
    My advice should be used as guidance only. You should always obtain face to face professional advice before taking any action.

    What if the other person refuses to move though and as soon as you move again, they decide to move and drive into you?

    Well that would be rather stupid by the other driver. But you would need witnesses in such circumstances.

    But at the end of the day, if you turn off the 'carriageway' into a driveway (or parking space) with the intention to reverse out again, you no longer have the right of way.
