The car illegally parked is not responsible at all, as it was stationary. If it was obvious it was there then it wasn't your husbands place to punish them for breaking the law, and the offence is punishable by a fine, not having their car smashed up!!! I'm afraid he'll lose that argument unless he can say it was incorrectly parked and rolled into him due to lack of sufficient holding brakes.

he was driving without due care and attention - you win the argument!

Makes no difference that the other car was parked illegally. You should still have seen it. As it happens, the police aren't going to be terribly interested, you just need to sort it out like any other bump.

Yes, it is illegal. Just because they are in the wrong you cannot run into them.

Do you want to take the law in your hands? Of course it is an offence! Be careful, you will be also charged, besides the one who parked illegally.

Yes, because you should have avoided the [arked car, regardless if its their illegaly or not.
You would probably get careless driving, if you arent drunk or on drugs.


bungee
sure you just can't damage others property because they were wrong. Did you ever hear the old saying 2 wrongs don't make a right. you both will be charged

Are you really this daft ? Or have you just had a little bump while reversing ?
Off - course it is an offence.


wonderingstar
both would be charged, the reversee for careless driving & the parker for parking illegally

Remember this when ever driving, YOU ARE YOUR OWN DRIVER, what ever you do you must pay for it unless the other driver is At fault.

sure it is true, you shd pay attention when reversing. you hit you pay. it is painful but like the saying goes, 2 wrongs doesnot make 1 right.
