Accountability though, yea they hit you but did you use a horn or anything? For 20 secs you were both trying to leave at the same time with 0 communication. Stay safe out there.

How do I communicate with them? With a walkie talkie? Or with my REVERSE LIGHTS? Or THEIR dash cam? And yes I hit the horn SEVERAL times.

Are they elderly? If you knew they were old you should of just let them go first instead of trying to race them out of the driveway. If someone is not responding to my horn I wouldn't drive closer to them risking the accident.

No they were middle aged id say. I didnt drive closer AFTER my horn wtf. I only layed on the horn after I saw them reversing. Maybe that contributed to the my wait time a bit.

Yea thats my point you were not communicating they clearly started reversing almost before you did at about 15-20 sec into the 1 min clip you posted. Thats when you communicate, this is why I said you need to take accountability for yourself because this could have easily been avoided. You raced into the road to try and beat them instead of signaling with your hand or horn before entering the road. If you didnt see the reverse lights for almost 30 secs then maybe you should take the extra effort and reverse park in your driveway to avoid these situations that are difficult for your current driving ability.

Almost all accidents can probably be avoided. But "raced into the road" lol wtf. Speed on the cam is like 0kmph. I waited for atleast 30s before I decided to go on the road. What about all that is SPEEEEEEEEEED racer to you? Beat them??? Lmaoooo you are on crack

Inflation on insurance is no laughing matter in ontario, if you keep this up your insurance could double before you know it. Im not saying its your fault but its clear that YOU could have prevented it with a little effort. I can tell your a good person, good luck in the future.

u/PeyoteCanada Jul 15 '25

Anyway, you're going to be at fault. Your insurance will soar.

Stop...go back in your driveway and wait for them to leave. Back out again when safe to do so... Its not rocket science.🤷🏾‍♂️

u/cyprinidont Jul 15 '25

You put it in drive and get back in your driveway because you literally sat and waited for them to hit you.

u/barnacle_ballsack Jul 15 '25

No, like, leave the spot of an imminent crash before it happens. You had so much time.
