Hey guys, so today while i was in the carpark i had a little accident with someone and i think its my fault im not too sure but they just said don't worry about it and makes me thing like its there fault ?

So i was parked and i reversed out, and out of no where there was a car behind me like right up my ass, i don't even know what he is doing there. I think he might of been chucking a U turn and i hit him.

it was only a minor scrape but the guy said don't worry about it and drove off.
was it my fault or his fault? i was pretty rushed to leave aswell so i just relied on my parking sensor to beep if theres something behind me and nothing happend =/

thanks.

Does it matter? If neither if you took details there's not much you can do about it.

Also sounds like your fault if you were just relying on the sensor, that's actually pretty negligent.

yeah i briefly checked my mirrors thought. i have his licence plate though.

Sounds like it's more your fault than his.

Parking sensors only tell you what's directly behind you as opposed to what is occurring peripherally.

All traffic incidents need to be reported, more to cover you're own ass than anything because the other bloke might go later and say your tore off his bumper.
Also relying on your sensor is pretty stupid.

Likely scenario, both be hit with a Neg driving charge.

i did like little to no damage to him, he scraped more paint of mine even though it wouldn't make a difference.

It would be his fault if he was doing a U turn and hit me as i was reversing out right? dammit i should go back and ask the spectators from the shop what happened.

The reversing vehicle has the greater duty of care, in other words must give way to everything.
Him performing a Uturn in a carpark is not illegal, but him hitting you might be considered negligence.

Yeah it was my fault I went and checked out the area and it said rear to kerb and I parked head first lol.

mspaint diagram plz

The fact that he said to just ignore it and then quickly left would suggest he may have been at fault.

Although you are an idiot for not doing the necessary head checks and looking back while reversing.
