If you’d like the opposite of this story: I was reversing out of a parking spot. I had moved about 2 feet and a drunk driver hit and ran my vehicle. The driver was charged by police because driving at 40mph and hitting cars in a shopping center in broad daylight got a lot of attention.

I gave the video footage from my car to local police and insurance company and the insurance companies ruled I was at fault because I was in reverse.

Hey thanks for sharing. I'd like to apologize for everyone below not getting the point - not understanding that these things cut both ways, and can often have unintended effects even for those enabling extra cameras for no measurable outcome for themselves. It's an incredible highlight you shared!

Sorry about your car :(

This is why I always back into parking spots. If I never have to back out, I'll never be at fault!
