Who is right?

I was in the sedan, This idiot backed into me today.

He then lied about numerous things, but still claims to be right, and that I was speeding (70kph)

When reversing its your obligation to check and give way to any traffic. Reguardless of what speed that traffic is doing (speeding or not).

You can't just stop in the middle of a road, and begin reversing into traffic behind you, that is just retarded.

That truck driver is a fool.

I'm not really sure I have enough information to figure out what the fuck your trying to say.

Since I'm no expert on Australian traffic law, I'd say your wrong for speeding and smashing into a fucking truck. I'm not sure what you were trying to accomplish by smashing into the truck instead of stopping and letting the guy back out, but maybe thats how you do things in your country.

This guy was driving in front of me, turns right into a driveway, and then just backs straight into my car as I try to pass behind him.

And I wasnt speeding.

Also he wasnt reversing until I was behind him. It had looked like he just pulled into a driveway.

Where I live, if you hit him from behind, you're at fault. But I reckon that wouldn't cover such a case when the other party is joining the road. Why are you asking us anyway? Ask a police officer.

The truck driver is at fault. He should have stopped and checked before backing. Since his truck was in reverse he was at fault. If it had been in forward gear then it would be your fault. You should have found a witness straight away near the accident scene. Also see if any near by stores have cctv and filmed the accident. The trukie will probably be lying becuase if he is to blame he will probably get fired.

If most traffic laws in Aus are the same as the US. Then he was wrong.

The truck guy is obviously at fault, but I would've honked the minute he stopped in the middle of the road. You just know he's going to do something stupid.

Reversing, like parking, is one of the manouevers that gives EVERYBODY the right of way over the one reversing. Even pedestrians.

tl;dr the truck driver is wrong.

You were driving too close to the truck. According to the Britfag highway code the stopping distance at 48kph is six car lengths.

How big was the truck? The driver probably couldn't see you as you were too close. If you can't see the trucks mirrors then it is unlikely that he can see you.

You're in the right, and that's fucking bullshit.

Ok, so the guy made a turn, and backed out, there had to have been a few seconds where he totally stopped, so the guy could shift gears and mash his clutch to go backwards.

You should have noticed the danger of a stopped vehicle and not have smashed into the guy's truck.

Its your fault. But the truck driver was a fucktard for pulling an asshole manuver like that in traffic.

99% of car accidents happen because BOTH drivers screw up some how. If you fuck up, and almost crash, but don't its because the other driver saw the danger and avoided it, and maybe leaned on his horn to say "fuck you asshole pay attention" and vice-versa.

Like any car accident, you both did stupid shit, he tried pullin an asshole manuver, expecting traffic to yeild to him and you crashed into the motherfucker for no reason.

Your at fault for hitting something moving slower then you.

If you were speeding, how could you have been anywhere near his tail-end by the time he'd turned in & reversed? Unless, of course, you were waaaaaay more than two lengths behind, initially.

Yes, the fuckdriver is at fault for failing to check his mirrors, and for pulling a stupid maneouvre in the first place. It looks like he would have been trying to use the alley/side road to get in the other lane... but why not go around the block?

Fuckers need to be more careful when crossing lanes in traffic to pull up a drive, in general.

How the fuck is this travel related, fucktard?
