You are parked on the wrong side of the road - isn't that an offence too

Not illegal in the UK, took me a while to get used to that as illegal here as well, mind you not many off them here know which side of the road to drive on either.

That's quite a shunt from the silver car if they were themselves looking to park up. 2019 RRS P400e Autobiography

They should consider themselves lucky your towbar isn't fitted: that 'bump' would have written-off their car.

Unless your car is parked nearside to kerb, not less than 10 m from a junction, in a 30mph limit, position lamps need to be displayed during the hours of darkness. So perfectly legal during the day. |

Actually it might be a good job that the tow hitch wasn’t fitted! Being hit hard on the tow hitch can lead to lots of hidden chassis buckling that could have also meant your car would be written off.........

So if he was parked the other way round he wouldn’t have hit the car Andy. 21 Ford Ranger Gone but not forgotten Focus RS Red Edition 2015 RRS AB Fuji. 2014 RRS SC Santorini 2016 VW Amarok 2014 RRS AB Fuji 2012 RRS Red Edition Fuji 2015 Nissan Navara 2012 RRS SE Santorini 2008 RRS White 2007 RRS Santorino |

Our RRS has just been written off from local council bin wagon hitting ours! Thankfully our CCTV saved the day too! We had only had CCTV fitted 5 weeks before! Our damage was much worse though, bin wagon lifted our RRS up and push uphill. Not showing on here though as we have a bit of a battle over our losses that we seem to have taken a hard hit on! |

It’s worth checking the small brackets inside your wheel arches which hold the bumper in alignment. We had a similar ‘minor’ bump at the back of our RRS1 a few years ago and one of the brackets had snapped so the bumper was not quite aligned correctly at the back of the wheel arch.

Against the law in Oz, but not the Uk unless night time. This follows commons sense as cars have reflectors at the rear by law (you can see the with your actual eyes during the day). Whilst it IS illegal in the uk, it is almost never prosecuted Range Rover Sport HSE DYnamic SDV6 Velocity blue 2020 MY Range Rover sport HSE Dynamic P400e Silver Range Rover Sport 3.0 SDV6 HSE Dynamic 2016 MY Range Rover sport 3.6tdv8HSE 2007 Gone Range Rover sport 2.7tdv6SE 2005 Gone Range Rover sport 2.7tdv6SE 2007 honey Range rover Vogue 2005 4.4 - GONE and missed BMW 535d M sport 2006 - GONE not as missed BMW X5 4.4 2004 sport - GONE |

I hope that's antipodean humour? as the the tool would have hit it still even if it was on a car transporter( Parked either way ) When the dust settles and the car's fixed I will post the full feature - Trust no-one - Trust CCTV |
