First Fender Bender
Alright guys this kinda sucks but I thought I would share the bad news with ya.
I was at a friends house the other day and I was backing out of her driveway. Well this telephone company is doing work across the road I guess, like putting a new line in and their F-350 dualie happened to be parked right in the road where I was backing out. I looked both ways but wasn't expecting a truck to be in the road parked so I idled out and crunched his bumper. The guy actually did not own the truck (it was his bosses) so he had to make the police report and go through that. I got a small dent in the back right side of my bumper and I hit is backside. Luckily his truck was lower to the ground than mine since my trim level is XLT and I don't know what his was but his bumper was bent upright a little because I clipped the top of his. My bumper also (supposedly) hit is paint a little too, which I don't know if it really did because it was a work truck and was pretty demolished in the first place.
Do you guys think that would be my fault or his??? Or both?? I would appreciate anyone's input!!
And do you think my insurance will raise?? I have had my license since 10/10/2003 and that was my first ding.
