think i'd have to agree with igor, i'm not so sure this is your fault (just perhaps not exactly the smartest thing anyone has ever done in the history of the world). first rule of driving is; be prepared for anything and don't drive faster than you can manage to stop if you need to. he didn't. i even seem to remember this type of scenario in text books when i took my driving classes - be prepared for car doors opening, be prepared for kids running out between parked cars, etc. so you were double parked, bad spanky, but he drove carelessly, didn't he? afterall he drove into your car door (if he didn't and you opened it into his side, your dent would have gone the other way wouldn't it?) what if you had parked so stupidly that you completely blocked the roadway. is he then justified in coming around the corner at full speed slamming into your rear?

anyway, food for thought.
