Doesn't matter much when the witnesses lie.

My wife had backed out and was already in D but with her foot still on the brake when another backed into her. The two in the other car claimed she was still backing so 50/50. Corksoakers.

To me, lying for financial gain, or to cause another financial loss, is paramount to theft - and we all know how we all feel about thieves.

Yeah its a tough one.. In their perspective they could have thought she was still backing... Who knows???

Technically both parties are backing at the same time in the same direction... If one completes the act and is shifting to drive, does that mean that all fault is on the other driver because they didn't complete the "act of backing" before the other person?

IN other words, both parties failed to see each other backing....Just because one finishes it first doesn't mean they are free from carelessness.

It sucks... I know.. I'm just lucky I didn't have any damage to my suburban.
