It does not matter if the car was parked legally or illegally, the fault for the collision, and the liability for any and all damage belongs to your girlfriend!What would you do if somebody followed your car ?
It's illegal to park your car facing oncoming traffic...perioddose the new seat belt law include pickup trucks?
You have to have your lights on on roads with a speed limit of 40 or higher.what saves more gas, driving on D or driving on Overdrive?
Parking facing the wrong direction is a good way to get a ticket but it would be hard to get out of paying damages to the owner if you run into a parked car...sorry.who invented the airbag in cars?
If the car was parked illegally, it can be ticketed. Illegal or not, the car wasn't moving, and she hit it. I would think it doesn't matter what country you are in, it isn't open season on parked cars.Will I be ok at driving ever??
yesWhat is the major factor that will affect your dragsters preformance?
as the car was parked in the cul de sac i think residential parking rules apply and it was legally parkedWhat will happen if you have too much Nitrous Oxide in your vehicle?
UK yes illegal, should be nearside to kerb, difficult in one way street on right! and have sidelights on at night unless there are street lights.
Don't you feel bad after cutting someone off in traffic...?
When you park facing the wrong way the offence is( failing to display reflectors) which glow red from another motorists headlights. However as for the collision you cannot shift the blame from your girlfriend to the parked car by saying she did not notice it, what if it had been a child?how important are back brakes?
yes, its an offence. but she will have to take the other driver to court to claim damages. (goto the small claims court)how many car accidents are caused by buzzards every year?
but, he could counter claim driving without due care and attention...
pursue it after getting proper legal advice...
Jerking the steering wheel to the right or left can cause the vehicle to skid.?
By definition, there really is not a "wrong side" to a cul de sac.... it's a circle. It's her fault for being careless, and in a residential area, the parking enforcement is probably less rigid than in a downtown area. I seriously doubt that you have any recourse against the other party for parking in the fashion that they did. That's just my opinion though. Good luck.The highway code says you should always park on the correct side of the road, in the direction of traffic flow, and on any road with a speed limit greater than 30 Mph two lights must be left on front and rear unless there are street lights.
what material can i use to interrupt the gps tracking signal on my car?
The fact that the car may have been parked improperly in no way excuses your girlfriend from hitting it, and lets face it, if the car was other way round it would have been perfectly all right, but she still wouldn't have expected it to be there!!
Whether the parking standards in residential areas should be same through out a metropolitan.?
yes it always has beenyou only have to park with lights on when parked on a road where the speed limit exceeds 30mph
It's illegal
Is there a reversing light on your car?
Does it work?
Did the other car have reflective number plates?
In a four-way intersection with no traffic lights, who has the right of way?
Does your girlfriend have impaired vision?
I think she's probably guilty of driving without due care and attention.
It is not illegal, but it is safer for you to park the other way, as the back of all UK cars have reflectors in the tail lights, and there are no reflectors at the front. That way, all cars approaching yours will see your vehicle much easier
If you have a handicap sign can yo park all day in a two hour parking spot?
Yes. Doesn't excuse your gf though - "not expecting it to be there" is not really going to hold up in a dispute. Sorry.It does not excuse her actions.If the car was there and she hit it then she ought to pay up and learn to look where she is going.
