Parking lot accidents

[sexualbanana]

Now, I'm aware that insurance companies tend to deem accidents that occur in a parking lot to be 50/50. But here's a question from something I saw today.

I was going in to get some groceries, and i see this car try to turn a corner. Now the driver ends up rubbing the bumper of a parked car. I didn't exactly see what the driver did after that. I saw the car stop, and I'm pretty sure the driver was aware that there was some contact.

But the kicker is that the car that was parked, wasn't actually in a spot. The driver of the other car had basically decided to make his own spot. If you've been to chinatown (or any shopping mall lately, you'd know).

So with that in mind, who's fault would it be? Afterall, the driver was parked illegally, and as a result made a small driving lane even smaller by parking where they did.

Hmm.. I typed up a few responses but I keep saying the same thing over and over haha..

I guess it would be the same thing as hitting a Jaywalker right? Its still ur fault for not being attent and paying attention even though they were not supposed to be there..

but good question

[frozenrice]

I'd say that if they're disrepectful and arrogant enough to think they can park where ever they want, they deserve to get their car hit. There's a reason they paint lines in parking lots and it for sure not for the aesthetics.

[civicsi]

the car that hit the other is at fault. doesnt matter if the car is not parked in a real spot or not.

[digitalshogun]

I think it might be 50/50 based on being in a parking lot. However the driver didnt NEED to get around him right? Even if he was blocked in, shoulda called mall security to get car towed.

Not sure though ... so sorry for the non-commital post.

But that's like saying that I've been mugged 4 times, all by white people. Therefore, all white people are criminals.

I'm far from being a racist. I'm Chinese myself. I hate to admit it, but most Asians can't drive....really, they can't. Just a little humor by poking fun at ourselves.

I'm chinese myself and actually i don't find it true. I find that asians are more cautious when they drive unlike alot of white people who have road rage. hmm out of every single accident that my friends and family have been in (because i personally have never been in an accident) has been a white person at fault. is it fair to say that white people don't know how to drive as well? i don' t think so, so i think persianprideboy should shut his mouth.

[max_boost]

Let's not generalize.......

Anyway, in that situation, you hit them, you are wrong!

[persianprideboy]

[C_B]

bad:eek:

[frozenrice]

I think everyone's gotten their two cents in now. Somehow the discussion has taken a wrong turn (no racists driving jokes please) and starting to go downhill.

Moderator: I'd suggest you close thread before it goes too far.

:rofl:


The only time I have even been hit was from a chinese girl in a parking lot, got out of her car to scrape the windshield and had the car in neutral and didnt put the e-brake on, went rolling directly into my rear tires/bumper hahaha. Supid girls honda got what it deserved, no damage on my end.

Dented bumper and broken lights on hers hahaha.

(was pissed at the time, but funny now)

If you are driving in the province of Alberta .... chances are ALL OF YOU are shitty drivers regardless of race. Just a keen observation by a fellow shitty drivin' Albertan ;)

I was raised in BC for 20 years and drove there for 4 years before i moved to alberta. I can honestly say that albertans are far safer drivers than British Columbians. The reason you may say such a thing is because albertans have slightly varying driving rules and their road conditions are far different than the location that you reside in, and they may just not be used to it.
Regarding the accident it would be 50/50 if the guy ends up taking it to court, otherwise it would be completely his fault

I say that because Alberta has different driving rules than where I live? I live in Calgary. Nope the reason I say such a thing is because its mostly true. The reason BC is unsafe to drive is because of all the Albertans vacationing there lol. BC's problem is less to do with drivers and more to do with its roads. Kids from the Okanagan can probably attest to the fact that things got a lot better when they got more lanes on the 97. We (Albertans) don't know how to merge, pass, change lanes, let people in, use a 4 lane highway ...etc etc. I've driven many places, Alberta obviously (I personally have a speeding problem), many of the surrounding areas (including Montana, Washington, BC, Sask, and Man) and even Mexico. Mexicans are better drivers ... they are crazy granted ... but better drivers than Albertans. Talk to some bigrig drivers ... most will concur (with all but the Mexican part lol)

Check it out, Edmonton is not such a nice place;

Seriously, I don't really mean everyone but all in all Albertans don't know how to drive.

I'm sorry. I had no idea about where you reside in. By the way my gf's father is an 18 wheeler driver, and I will talk to him about. I'm currently in vancouver to visit my folks, and i can honestly say that I have no seen one albertan plate so far, yet I almost got into an accident because some persian kid thought that his car was fast enough so that he could pass the stop sign and not get hit.
