an old man crashed into me today!!!!

i pulled into a parking space and then reversed to straighten up and he reversed into me (i had started wayyyy before him and then he decided at last minute to slam on the throttle and reverse into me however we were still both moving at the time). trying to get video footage of what happened from the car park so i can try to get him for it cause i cant try to fight him for it because he was an 80 yr old and im a 17yr old p-plater

he got out of his car after and basically said "its not my fault" and then got in and drove off

there is a small crack in the rear bumper to the bottom left side

will put pics up tomorrow

Sorry to hear that man. If you were both reversing, it's gonna be 50-50, both pay for yourselves.

dam so devo about it
cause there was no damage to his sh*tty old liberty and i was reversing and he just like suddenly pulled out into me

old people shouldnt be driving

edit: by old im referring to that time when you get to a point where you are unable to do anything and drive at 20km below the speed limit and are a hazard

Bad luck mate

I had a very similar situation the other week. The guy was totally oblivious and it pissed me off, but I just had to bite the bullet and slam it into first gear and get out of his way, in the interests of saving my car, even if he WAS the one in the wrong.

Hope it doesn't cost you too much!
