This is one reason I try to back in everywhere I go, especially into my garage. When you first drive home you know where everything is so it is easy to maneuver around any objects in your way. Another reason: it is easier to get into a garage/parking space while going backwards.

I know where things are when I'm backing out of the garage, because I turn my head and look.

I think the real mistake was not backing up his truck and leaving it parked on top of the offending vehicle.

Haha, a similar thing happened to me yesturday (well not as bad). I was cleaning my car with the pressure washer and since I live on a corner lot, there are always real estate agents parking in my driveway to get out and put up their open house signs on the sidewalk and crap near my house and they always park like morons (even though you are just parking for 1 minute, you should still respect someone else's property and do a decent job. Anyways, this one guy who parks on my driveway atleast 5 times a week parks right up on my driveway, gets out of his Mercedes ML, and starts getting into the back of his car and getting out his open house sign. While he is doing this, I am rinsing the car and i didnt realize that it was a little windy and water got all over him and his car (mostly overspray). He then freaks out at me and starts cussing like crazy. I basically told him to F*@$ off and that i can **** on his car if i wanted to since it is on my driveway and if he had a problem with that, he can park on the F-ing street and not always on my driveway. I have to be honestly, i think somewhere in the back of my mind, i wanted to get him wet since these guys are always parking to put up a sign. I could have stopped the pressure washer for a minute especially since he was dressed in a suit and all but why should i be inconvenienced for someone else? Anways, next time i see him on my driveway, i am gonna pump up the power so friggen high on that pressure washer so i will crack his windshield on his sh*$mobile.

Very good IS-250. A perfect opportunity arose for revenge, even though it wasn't intentional on your part but subconscious......although I hope you don't leave your car out unattended in your driveway if he comes around there often

is she hot? If so, let her pay you back in kind else if she's a dog, sue her! Sorry about your car, man...

"Partly obscured" doesn't necessarily mean not at fault. If it's hard to see when you are backing up, it might mean you need to go slower, or look more carefully. We're all guilty of it--pulling down your driveway, you aren't expecting anything to be there, and you may not be looking as closely. There may just be equal blame here.

BUT--I don't think that means it's wrong to suggest she pay. Worst that happens is she says "No," any you move on to Plan B.

I see those Open House and For Sale signs on corner lots all the time. If they did that on my yard, I'd be out there 30 seconds later pulling up their signs, and putting them in the trash.

Tell that agent, NEXT time, you're calling the cops.

I would be PISSSED!! and would ask her to pay for the damage. She should not be on your drive way period! I'm pretty sure if you ask her she'll pay for it, since she doesn't have insurance, and dont' want to get the police involved.
