Got Backed Into! (Dashcam Footage Within)

Happened in my work parking garage this morning. Apparently the whole "look behind you when backing up" concept is long gone.



Thankfully my car was at a perfect angle for her just to bend my US Millwork tow hook mount (yes you should buy one just based on this experience). Luckily no bumper damage whatsoever, that mount is strong as hell. Wouldn't have mattered from a cost perspective as I clearly wasn't at fault but still would have been a pain...

That's crazy you got really lucky. Was in my father's old Porsche built 500E when a woman parked directly in front of him in line at valet pickup reversed instead of forward and did $10K in damage. He was in the driver's seat honking his horn then started crying. And that's $10k what 25+ years ago now?

Oh wow that would be awful! Lucky to have gotten lucky this time around. Also extremely glad I have a dashcam for instances just like this...

Yeah shit happens, very happy you got off with the price of a license plate bracket! Imagine sitting outside your office in your custom ordered baby with a car behind you so you can't back up while some old blue hair shoves your radiator into your engine block at 5 mph. I still remember it vividly to this day!

She is also paying for the license plate bracket so no sweat really!

Some drivers are just f***ing stupid. You were much cooler than I would have been. At least, good anger management!

That is so unfortunate. Glad you lucked out!

The Acura driver should have sprung for the backup camera and sensors.

And I'm willing to bet she was either over-relying on it or had turned it off but hasn't changed her back-up behavior to suit. Combined with the distortion of the fisheye lens most have, those cameras are horrible in low light, such as in a parking garage like that one.

She might have had it on the top down view, but yeah those cameras in the acuras are pretty terrible. I get a good laugh every time I'm in my GF's ILX.

<sarcasm>I love other drivers!</sarcasm>

I've always said: I don't use a seatbelt because I'm concerned about my driving; I use a seatbelt because I am concerned about everyone elses driving!
