If you hit a car parked illegally across from your driveway while backing out are responsible for repairing the that is illegally?

It depends on the specific laws and regulations in your jurisdiction, but in general, the driver who hit the parked car is responsible for repairing the damage, even if the parked car was illegally parked. This is because the driver has a duty to exercise reasonable care while operating their vehicle, and this includes being aware of their surroundings and avoiding collisions. The fact that the parked car was illegally parked does not excuse the driver who hit it from their responsibility.

However, the liability for the damage may be shared between the two drivers if the illegally parked car contributed to the accident. For example, if the illegally parked car was blocking the driveway in such a way that it was difficult to see, then the driver who hit it may be found to be partially at fault. In this case, the damages would be shared between the two drivers.

In addition to the cost of repairing the damage, the illegally parked vehicle may also be subject to a citation or fine from law enforcement.
