BC21	both of u would share fault u for striking a parked vehicle, and the other person for illegal parking Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

uknative	As you were in charge of a moving vehicle it would be deemed to be your fault, although it could be argued that the illegally parked car may have contributed to the accident. I believe that the rule is that you have a duty of care to the other person's property, even though the other driver had parked on a double yellow. This would be a case for the insurers to argue anyway. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

*SalUK**	Certainly it is. Same as it would be if you hit it in a car park, on someones drive, etc etc. There would be mitigating circumstances possibly if it was dangerously parked - but that would be hard to prove. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

adjuster	gomanyes is correct...if you saw the car and hit it or even if you did not see the car and hit it, you are majority at fault. your insurance company will apply liability on the other car however. probably anywhere from 20-50%. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Miss RoZy	Yes its your fault Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Keith R	In the UK you are required by law to drive at a speed which would allow you to stop within the distance you can see. According to the law, if you hit a stationary car, either you were going too fast or you were not paying attention, either way you are guilty. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
