Mitsubishi Magna 1.. Container Van 0
What a shit day! I ran up the back of a Magna when he stopped to reverse park. he made a last second decision to stop and park, I can't say
whether he indicated or not it was one of those situations that just happened so fast, so as the law say's I am at fault....Any way I now have
one very sad little Splitty with a smashed in nose and one eye busted ......If any one heard loud expletives this afternoon it was probably me, I am
still cursing Magna drivers.........
Anyone got a splitty headlight lens? :cry
Keeping it real !

silver. your not necessarily at fault.
there is also the rule of 'travelling against the flow of traffic'. it basically means that the other driver as he is going in reverse, also
has to be aware and give way if needed.
follow this thru. i know as a relative had this same scenario...

Hey Silver
Sorry to hear about that. I bet it was on Parramatta Road! I heard of a car running straight into the back of a parked Kombi on there!
George at Classic veedubs has a whole new front section for a split hanging on the wall of his workshop. Worth considering if your doing an insurance
claim and the damage warrants it!
All the best
Steve

I just went outside and had another look at it :cry
It'is bad but could have been worse I stole the headlight from my beetle resto and stuck that on and it seems happier.....
.A thing happened while I was sitting in the gutter today at Petersham, the scene of the event. The other guy had long gone and the Van dropped a
piece of glass, with out being bumped or anything,
I think it was crying. :cry
Anyway, I will be putting my beetle resto on it's new pan this week .so that will lift my spirits. :party
Keeping it real !

hey vwcool. its not, as for a car to reverse park, they have to travel against the flow of traffic. this means that they have to give consideration b4
moving. ie they can t just prop up and power back, or start to swing in with out thinking/looking.
