So the street my house faces is legal to park on, but is narrow for the amount of traffic it sees. And tonight what I’ve been fearing since I moved in finally happened. Some poor guy driving down a the dark street didn’t see the parked black SUV until it was to late and hit it at speed. Knocked the SUV forward a few feet and demolished his car. He hit his head but seemed ok, and his little girl in the back seat seemed more shook up than hurt. But they were taking her to the hospital out of an abundance of caution. The police are here and seeing if they can get his car started enough to move it.
And my habit of telling friends to park on the side street has just been confirmed.

Prime example of why I avoid street parking at all costs. Only time I park on the “street” is at my house. I live on a circle so you would have to be really dumb to hit my car (it’s about 10 feet from where cars turn around).

Same thing happened on my street last week, except it was broad daylight. I parked my car on the street just 30 mins before. Somehow the lady got around my car, moved back over and hit the back of the landscape truck in front of the house next door. I can still can’t fathom how she managed to do that, but I'm sure glad it wasn’t my car.

Unfortunately it probably totaled both cars.
