From my perspective, both scenarios would result in Car 1 being in the middle of the road when Car 2 starts quickly reversing out. Perhaps…

It's possible to work backwards from the positions of the vehicles and the damage to each car to determine who was moving and who was…

I'm sorry that you went through that. It's disappointing when people blatantly lie and refuse to take responsibility for their actions. Did…

What difference does comprehensive insurance make in this situation?
28/03/2022 - 10:18
I think the stopping of the road momentarily has been misunderstood. Car 1 has only stopped for a brief second to check surroundings, while…

Does this mean that I have to pay the high excess of 3rd party insurance, which is more than the cost to repair Car 2, and their insurance…

There are 2 insurance companies involved though. Insurance of Car 2 are going to have to pay for damage to Car 2 unless they can prove…

Initially my thoughts were the same. A panel beater could push out the dent to the the bumper of Car 2 without much effort. Maybe some…

How would the scenario be avoided? When Car 1 enters the street, Car 2 is still going to reverse quickly from the parking space and collide…

What country in the world would apply such strange rule? Our road rules in Australia allow for drivers to use common-sense, but it appears…

Some people like to put head in, some people like to put rear in.. I don't want to debate which is better. I don't think we should force…

This accident occurred in Victoria. It's not illegal to reverse out of a driveway. I'm confused - are you saying that there is an old road…

Car 2 reversed into Car 1 who was stationary. However, the story that Car 2 tells their insurance is likely to be different.

It's difficult for Car 1 to reverse into driveway without front bumper scraping on ground. I will try to reverse into driveway from now on.…

If you ask Car 1 (me), my recollection in the description is that I was stationary at the point of impact. The vehicle was in drive and…

What prevented me from accelerating was that I hadn't finished checking my surroundings. In the brief second that I'd seen Car 2 start…

Does it matter that Car 1 wasn't in reverse? It was in drive about to move forward.
27/03/2022 - 18:34
I didn't see anyone entering the vehicle. The passengers were all very elderly, so my assumption is that they would have entered slowly.…

In Victoria (which is the state where the accident occurred) it is not illegal to reverse out of your driveway. When reversing you should…

What did Car 1 do wrong?
27/03/2022 - 17:53
Thank you for posting alternative opinion. I didn't post for confirmation bias.. I want to find out where mistake was made so I can avoid…

It looks as though Car 2 reversed out of a parking space and scraped against another vehicle with their door. The location is similar to…

Car 1 is a box shaped Japanese car, so often Asian driver or younger person. I'm not sure whether you are trying to associate Asian with…

Why do you say *"3rd party insurance is USELESS!"*? I guess I am about to find out in the following weeks.. My car is a grey import, so the…

Thank you, those are good suggestions. The crossovers in the street already have existing steel ramps, that have likely been there for…

I don't know if the driver of Car 2 had short vision. They wore glasses. Their driver's licence said Senior Citizen.

I don't understand why you were downvoted. I agree with your comments. It's frustrating when the OP doesn't state the full story and you…

I have been requesting the council to drop some bitumen / hot ash on the driveway area, so that the incline is less harsh. Unfortunately…

Hopefully this is not what both insurance companies decide. I think it's easier for them to do this, so that they can collect more excess…

How can Car 1 prove that Car 2 didn't check their blindspot or side mirror?
