had to go shopping so looking for a space stopeed and decided to reverse for one BANG!!!! some ar***e had stopped about 3 inches from me rear bumper so as soon i as reversed i hit himmassive amount of paint missing from bumper, shrugged me shoulders at that but went to another shop and bought a tool box and guess what happened when i put it on the back seat, i clipped the rear wheel arch and there is now a small dent in that car is parked up now before i get caught for speeding and to give me time to cool down

Cool

try looking before you reverse. the large metallic object in the rear view mirror was ANOTHER CAR. If you hit these you will have a large bill to pay to sort out the results of your idiocy. Have a nice day.

Go easy on the poor chap. Everyone's entitled to a lapse in concentration. That's why they're called 'Accidents.'

Classic reason why I like the reverse-park indicator in my Jag X-Type. If something's behind me, it beeps and warns me.

Only problem is, my wife's Peugeot doesn't have it, and I keep forgetting to look behind me when I'm reversing it.

Have to agree with basal on this one

In December I was run over by some daft bint who didn't look before reversing and lost about 3 inches of skin off the top of my foot all the way down to the bone !

Wasn't my day then, either

The woman who lives next door to me didn't look when reversing her Escort out of her drive. Knocked over my parked motorbike on the road opposite. Being repaired tomorrow. How do people not look when reversing???
