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?

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

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.

<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!
