Hi,
First post here, so hi!
This morning I had a small bump with my car.
I was reversing off my drive into the opposite side of the road, when another car began to reverse from their drive on the opposite side of the road. They were halfway in the road when I bumped into their rear wheel arch with my rear bumper.
A diagram is https://www.dropbox.com/s/a56oseyebief8kq/car.png Arrows on cars show direction which car is facing, other arrows show direction of travel.
They were stopped when the collision occurred, having seen me on the road so they are saying it was my fault completely. However, I feel that they should not have even begun to reverse onto the road if I was already off my drive.
I admit that I should have been watching my rear view closer and then would have noticed them but don't feel I'm 100% at fault here, what are your thoughts.
