Who Pays If You Hit an Illegally Parked Car in Virginia?
If you hit an illegally parked car in Virginia, the other driver is not automatically at fault just because the vehicle should not have been there. That parked car may share responsibility, but you still have a duty to drive carefully and avoid a collision when you reasonably can. The question carries more weight now that Virginia is putting fresh attention on traffic enforcement, including new AI-supported school-zone enforcement tools rolling out in some communities.
