Question about parking and collision..

[targus1]

Was parked on a busy street and a car that was passing at the side of my car touched my side view mirror....

in a case like this who has the rite of way?
am i entitled to compensation if any damages occur on my vehicle?

[ALIS]

Parked at your own risk? No parking zone? Head to the bamboo or dealership and get a new one...... save gas and time..... Those things happen on a daily basis..

Mirror damage.....quick fix....no worries.....happens alot....

[javishm]

[skylinechild]

1.where were you parked ? what street- is it a no parking zone.

if you use street parking you do so at your own risk. Furthermore why wasnt your mirrors folded in??
too many times trinis like to park and "how it hang it swing" sad to say.

your loss OP.

What is the extent of damage to your mirror ? Its probably cheaper and faster to just get it fixed at your own cost OP

If it was De Verteuil street I can see this being regular issue, a two lane street with parking on both sides

if you're in a parked position..even where you aren't supposed to park, you have the right of way. you are at a standstill and could not cause the accident/damage.

na I wouldn't take it back, it goes along from the hit from behind logic..even if a car roll back on you the police gonna side with the car that roll back and say that the car that get hit in front was wrong (happened to an uncle of mine/could be corrupt cops Idk). I have been in an accident where I was parked on a corner (I was wrong) and a guy in a white almera rub my bumper and when we went to make the report the police said I was parked wrongly/but still in a parked position and had they come on the scene I would have gotten a ticket but at the end of the day the other man hit me so he had to compensate the paint

I'm sure if you owned a vehicle you would also park on the street at some point

Well earlier today I was driving down a street and people had parked their cars like idiots. This one person parked further out in the road and I hit his side mirror. I know maybe I was wrong but I think people should park better than that. It wasn't my car I was driving but I told the owner and since no visible damage was done to the car because the mirror folded in on impact, he said it was ok. Sorry for the other guy though....apparently cortina mirrors don't fold in the outward direction if they fold at all.

[Ted_v2]

Hmm. Well I don't park my vehicle in the street for the same reason. And if I do I take full responsibility for my actions.

[targus1]

the accident took place in San Fernando... the damages to the mirror is very minor... i was just curious of whom had the rite in event i went to the police....
parked on the side of the street near flow office..irvin park i believe is the landmark there


so by the car standing still logic... i can park where i like and i am in the right...
find this is very one sided as some times ppl park terrible, without consideration to how much traffic it would cause the other motorist on the road or the inconvenience.

so you didn't consider this when YOU made the park yourself on a BUSY street?

[Toilet Cleaner]

Is Flow you went by? Then you should make them or whoever place you went by, pay for your repairs since it was their fault that they don't have a carpark for their customers or visitors, thereby FORCING YOU to park on the street.

[Crazydriver]

as long as your engine is off and your vehicle is in a parked position, you have the right of way

So if I just stop and pull hand brakes on the highway?
