Who Has the Right-of-Way in a Parking Lot?

Nolo points out that there are exceptions to every rule. Usually, it is the fault of the car backing out of a parking space if that car hits another. However, if the car coming down the parking lane was speeding, the liability is on the speeding driver. If a driver pulls forward in a parking space and hits another car trying to park, it is the fault of the driver pulling forward.
