If you're driving forward, you aren't backing out the car.
If you were fully in the lane, and he is backing from private property onto public property more than likely he will bare the majority of fault/liablilty.
The backing car is at fault
What type of driveway? Was it a curving and could not see the car before rounding the curve? Is it straight; then why did you not see the car blocking the driveway before even getting into car and/or backing..
Go next door, politely introduce yourself and ask them if they would please not park there because it makes it hard for you to back out.=======================More thoughts . . . .Hopefully the chat with your neighbor has solved the problem, but here are some thoughts to considerIf you have an HOA (Homeowners Association), there might be some rules that apply.Find out if your municipality has a minimum distance to park from a driveway and determine if/how that is enforced.Backing into your driveway might be easier than backing out.
Yes, provided there is nobody behind your car, and you are not backing up directly into oncoming traffic. As long as you can do it sober and not cause injury or damage to anyone or anything, of course it's legal to back your car out of your driveway in Kentucky or anyplace else on the planet for that matter.
backing up an entire hard drive is difficult...so much data to back up...
Finding out the answer to these sorts of questions is what courts are for. The answer depends on the details, but from the brief description given, I'm inclined toward the position that it's probably your fault, or a mixture of fault, but with you being the one mostly in the wrong. People who are backing up are supposed to take extra caution.
Should it ever get to court, most judges will assign split negligence to both drivers, although the pressumption is that the driver backing out of the driveway is supposed to be looking both ways up and down down the street.
It is not an offence to back out of a driveway, but it is an offence to back across a lane of traffic.
1. You have a much bigger blind spot in back of your vehicle even when backing straight. 2. When turning you have limited visibility of what is around the corner you are backing in to. 3. It's more difficult to keep control of your vehicle when backing than when going forward.
