Car accident - my fault - but witness disagrees.

[krylekathe1]

I had an accident this morning.

I was swinging into a car park, misjudged and hit the rear right hand corner ute tray with the left front of my car.

Totally my fault, as far as I am concerned.

Talked to the ute driver, who was lovely, exchanged details. No issues. He bent out the but of his ute tray I hit & said no worries, no damage to his car (like I said, he was really nice).

As I was walking back to my (pretty damaged) car, a man approached me & told me to photograph the ute as it wasn't parked within the parking lines, so therefore not my fault.

I had already taken photos.

But I'm pretty sure that's not true. I haven't rung the insurance company yet, as I'm pretty upset.

Does it make a difference as to if the other driver is illegally parked? Technically, I hit a stationary vehicle. Isn't it still my fault?

Anyone have any ideas?

Bob, with your intelligence I would think you know Scandinavians are very non gender biased and being in touch with both the masculine n femine aspects of the human psychy.

But understand your vision, as here in Australia women are possibly more in touch with being empathatic. 

However when I express myself on topics such as this, words cannot express the true feelings and tend to be clumsy renditions of thoughts.

As for being disingenuous, No, I actually don't know much about what was being referred but felt the possibility of a misunderstanding.

Nothing more.

I admire your analytical skills, however don't overlook the possibility of a simpler answer that may exist, only complicated by one's own sceptical surroundings or recent experiences. Or perhaps you are experimenting?

Either way, I most often offer simple advice to be taken into consideration or ignored.

I actually neither agreed nor disagreed with both on the OP's issue but originally merely stated the layman's version of what is the likely outcome of a legal outcome.

Your right Az, it was an advert I did for National in Japan.

I was born in Tokyo and we spent many years in Japan.

P.S. Thank you Az and Youcan.

i didn't know that.  

maybe bob didn't either.

the avi pic could have been the poster's

child - that would not be unusual.

It could have been but Kope did talk about it at some stage, on a thread here. Not that I expect everyone has seen it......................did you think he was a she too? not that it matters either way.
