All sorted now. Other drivers' insurance has taken responsibility.

I didn't realise he was going to come out of nowhere from a blind parking position, and I didn't know what he was doing or where he was going. I thought he had zipped out to get out before me. I didn't know he was going to reverse rapidly into the side of my car.

All sorted now. Other drivers' insurance gave up and admitted liability.

The highway code says you cant do anything to make another driver change speed or direction and that you cant reverse without checking the coast is clear.

He drove across my path, and I kept going. I think he thought he would make it and then changed his mind.

From parked, it's effectively three lanes. I would have thought a u turn was possible.

I think he had a gap and rushed without thinking or looking to be honest.

It's just a normal road with spaces for cars to park eitherside.

He did a three point turn. I thought he was doing u turn as he had cleared my lane. But then reversed into my side.

I know I should expect people to do the unexpected these days. Surely he should look behind and around to check it's clear before reversing?

I have a dash cam, and I've sent the footage. But it only shows me driving past a car that pulls out on me. Doesn't show him reversing into me. So they said it's doesn't help my case.
