Hi spanky. As a Driving Instructor and ex traffic Policeman this is my opinion.It,as Igor pointed out,a 50/50 blame accident.You should have looked properly just BEFORE you opened the door or anticipated that it was possible that someone might come round the corner as you were getting out and therefore constantly looked in this direction as you were getting out.If someone like this chap then appears you can then react slightly quicker and possibly save your car from being damaged,however,the other chap should have been travelling at such a speed that he could stop his car in the distance he can see to be clear,in the case of going round a corner obviously not very fast. It seems that maybe he was travelling at such a speed that he could not stop in the distance he could see to be clear and went for the gap between your car and the other side of the road,because of his speed,had less time to judge the gap,miscalculated the size of the gap and did not anticipate you opening your door at that precise moment and you know the end result,I am pretty sure it will be a 50/50 fault accident.Sorry to get a bit technical but hopefully you will learn from this.  |
