It's been said but it bears repeating: You need to be a better driver.

yeah, but the lady was trying to park. she backed up once, stopped, moved forward, then started backing up again. While backing up the second time, OP gunned his accelerator (maybe not gunned, but whatever), and ran into her b/c he's an impatient prick.

he was not boxed in in any way, b/c all he had to do was remain stopped. totally his fault.
Not to mention the OP didn't say it was in the city, he could very easily be referring to the state.

Of course she can sue you...and your insurance company will probably settle with her out of court for a few thousand and your rates will go up.

Well OP didn't mention if her blinker was on. If she was stupid enough not to turn on her blinker then traffic is just going to move on up behind her while she is setting up to parallel park.

But I'll admit OP should have stopped as soon as her car's brake lights came on. And honked as soon as her reverse lights came on. Unless those were broken too. :\

1. What is an auxiliary cop?
2. Pics of said cop?
3. What is your gf doing for her supervisor in exchange for him fixing the report?

Of course this NYC, not like freaking Upstate or something. There was no way she was getting into that parking since she practically blocked traffic. The ice on the ground was preventing me from going around her and there wasn't any space between her car and the one parked on the right hand side for me to pass by. The traffic behind me had already moved up when I moved up so I couldn't reverse and give her space.

Nope neither of us got the chance to react cause she was comming back and I was moving forward, it wasn't just that she was standing there and I drove into her.

I was in my friend's Dodge Ram 3500 one night, and we were at a stop light behind a Nissan Maxima. The light turned green, the guy didn't go. My friend honked a couple times. The light turned back to red. About this time we notice it looks like the passenger is giving the driver head. My friend shouts out the window "MOVE FUCKER!" They extend their left hand out their window and hold up the middle finger. The light turns green, and my friend puts the truck into 1st gear and just slams into the Maxima, pushing it forward about 40 feet and off into the ditch on the right side of the road. Then we just drove off. He had one of those giant frame mounted grill guards, so there was no damage. I was laughing my ass off the whole time.

He didn't sued. In fact, there wasn't even any police or paramedic involvement. I wonder if that guy finished getting his blowjob...

Yep parking spot works over here too, and parking is a verb over here, no idea why this guy used it as a noun...?
Because in The New Amerrykan langewidge, words don't really mean anything.
I'm sure you're seen someone write something and forget to use the negative contraction 'can't' and instead use 'can', or even worse, speak that way. English is a wonderful drug.

Unless you can get a witness to corroborate yourr contention that she was backing up in a traffic lane, you're hosed. He said / She said case. In fact, it really IS!

OP was at fault. Can she sue, of course. I wouldn't count on it going anywhere.

OP would have been in a world of hurt if there was any damage done to the car. If you rear-end someone, 99/100 you will be the one found liable.

If anything ever required a paint, this post is it. Why the heck were you moving forward while she was backing up? You were obviously far enough away from her that you could actually start moving forward while she starts moving backwards, yet for some reason you continue to drive right into her.

If you stated you were sitting there and she backed into you, that would be one thing. It sounds like you were either

A) impatient and were trying to push her away from parking there

OR

B) playing with your phone or radio while you should have been watching the road

The whole
and I didn't notice but she was moving back again as soon as i hit the accelerator
isn't going to win you any favors with a judge or jury. You're just admitting to either A or B above.

You still haven't said if her blinker was on indicating if she was parking.

If you can't answer these questions now, or just don't want to, then you should be less concerned about your insurance and more concerned with her suing your ass off for injuring her while you were either distracted from the road or were being too aggressive (road rage).

Dodge rams don't have the ability to go around obstacles? Good to know.

My carrier is Geico.

Also I didn't even ask for the help from my girlfriend but since the accident was a block away from the precinct, she came to see what happened and immediately called her supervisor. The supervisor wanted to see the report to see if he can help me.

Also I have been driving for over a year and a half with a clean slate and this is my first ever accident. I don't drive recklessly and I beleive that there mistakes made on both sides. if there was car damage or medical injury I wouldn't mind her calling the cops and I would have nothing against her but this woman saw there was no damage to either of us and our cars yet still escalated the situation.

I just don't want her to pocket the money even though it seems like that's what she is trying to do. I don't care if she uses it for medical purposes caused by the accident, her car has no damage so I doubt she can claim that.

You are mistaken.

No, you won't get sued. Your insurance company will take care of it. Your rates will probably go up, but that's life.
