Have you been visited by the forces of Karma, or watched it happen to other people?
Thanks to Pooflake for the suggestion

Nissan 750z's and alarmsI've been onsite today installing stuff with 2 other work colleagues.. while also getting the piss ripped out of my as yesterday i may have accidentally scraped a Nissan 750z that was parked illegally across a road junction while the twunt was on the phone.. (probably £500 excess coming out of my pay as he was stationary :( )
anyway i digress, I've been having the piss ripped out of me by all and sundry for my minor incident, when we dropped a ladder back to the shop before heading home.. one of the aforementioned piss rippers smacks a ladder directly into the tamper proof alarm box, and then sets the whole intruder alarm malarkey off.
woo blame for latest stupidity incident gets shifted off me.
now i just need to arrange karma for Mr Nissan being smug and telling me to open my eyes next time I'm struggling around a car parked illegally across a junction, but im pretty sure im screwed due to the fact he was stationary, and i was trying to drive around him
for anyone wanting a giggle at my expense, i had to get the van from the road its parked in, parallel to where his car is, note 1 way street + bollards the other side of the road + road marking showing he was over the junction

teh Road Traffic Act 1988 states that:"Leaving vehicles in dangerous positions.
22. If a person in charge of a vehicle causes or permits the vehicle or a trailer drawn by it to remain at rest on a road in such a position or in such condition or in such circumstances as to be likely to cause danger to other persons using the road, he is guilty of an offence."

I think this counts in this case. Check with Ms. Rachelswipe though, as she is our resident legal eagle. She is also pleasant looking, so winnah!

Your screwedEven though he was causing an obstruction he may argue he was in car and able to move at any time if requested
You made an error of judgement and collided with a stationary vehicle.
His insurance company will argue that as he was in the car you should have requested he move his vehicle before proceding.
Tough cookies but thats life. I have even seen buffoons stopping on roundabouts to answer phones!!!
