    I had a similar experience with a horse float behind the Landy the other day. Didn't hit anyone, but still annoying.....

    I was trying to pull into a tyre place and find a park in their carpark before they opened. The car in front was too impatience for me to get past without the risk of hitting it. Then a small car pulled right up behind me (couldn't see it).

    I had no choice but to freeze, let them sort themselves out and cope abuse from them due to their own impatience.

    Why do people treat car parks like freeways?

    Bit hard to avoid the Vic plated cars, especially here. You sound like a mate of mine that owned a Servo half way down the Peninsula. A Qld plated car drove in, when I was talking to him in the driveway, & the driver asked directions, he said go 200 klm down that a way, there might be a cliff 30 k down there, but do us a favour & keep driving

    Bunnings Bingle

    Many years ago I was driving the locak fire tanker at a major blaze. Smoke was so thick that you couldn't see the rear end. I was backing out from behind some cover as the fire had leapt across the road when I put the passenger rear corner of the tray through the rear passenger side window of a car that was sightseeing...in almost zero visability??? Just brushed a baby in a car seat.Man did I feel sick. The idiot was doing a uturn immediately behind the tanker. He tried to claim on the rfs insurance. Was he told where to go!!! Jim

    Wouldn't the probability of a situation like this happening be reduced by backing into parks when parking? I know its not possible at all times, but you do have a better view when you leave.

    Good idea, as long as you don't need to put shopping etc. in the back.

    In the country town I grew up in, most parking was 45 degrees rear to kerb. Worked really well.
