I myself experienced a very much reduced version of this problem about eight years ago in the parking lot of a local mall. It was winter and there had been a big snow so there were piles of it around that obscured ones vision. I was pulling on to a perimeter driveway from one of the parking aisles when I saw a car flying towards me. It still had some distance but it didn’t seem to be slowing down. It dawned on me that it was going to hit me, which it did in a glancing blow to my left rear. The other driver was non english speaking and was an employee of a food store in the mall. His supervisor or somebody appeared along with some friends of his and I think somebody asked me if I wanted to call the police and I said yes. The cop was a young woman who said to me, “You’re lucky this wasn’t on a public road,” because I was the one that pulled out in front of him, you see. While I was standing there, I watched cars moving along the parking lot drive at a creeping pace, and stopping for other cars within a few feet. To this day, I can’t fathom how this guy hit me. Maybe his brakes didn’t work or something. It was just very “alien” to me. When my insurance agent called, I told him that the other guy was going too fast, and he said that didn’t matter, but then when I told him it was in a parking lot, he abruptly terminated the conversation, it seemed in my favor, and I think that it was a “no fault” call.
A friend of ours was hit on a major street in a large city. Several non-English speaking people exited the vehicle and ran in all directions, abandoning the wrecked vehicle, leaving our friend with his wrecked vehicle and the empty wrecked car that caused the accident running the traffic signal.
It would be interesting to see how many auto accidents are caused by illegal aliens and the cost burden (uninsured motorist) added to our insurance premiums.
