Don't block driveways, O.K.?

DoorDash Driver Dings Door Delivering Dinner

I agree. The driver of the truck takes a lot of the responsibility IMHO. Hell, there could have been a pedestrian behind the truck. I also put part of the blame on the red car driver. Plenty of room to park without blocking the driveway.

The red car f'd around, and it found out I guess lol.
The pickup truck definitely should have paid attention and not hit the car no doubt but yeah there was more than enough room for the DoorDash to park somewhere that didn't block someones driveway.

Door Dash driver kept on delivering the food instead of running back to the car. A true professional!

The DoorDash driver delivered the meal, tried to open the damaged door which wouldn't open, and then drove off to the next delivery. The pickup doesn't even have a scratch. We've got a city ordinance that says you can't park within three feet of the driveway, so the DoorDash driver would have been 100% at fault if the police had been called.
I like how the DDD looked at his car, then continued on to deliver the food. Now that is dedication!

The DD driver obviously didn't give an F where he parked. However, from his perspective he might not have realized that the passenger side of his car was smashed in. In other words, he heard a sound, looked back, but didn't notice anything strange on the driver's side of his car.
One other thought ... maybe it's not his car. Thus, he didn't care about any damage to it.

A similar thing almost happened to me.
One day I was backing out of my two car garage. There was no other vehicle parked in the second half of the driveway when I started. Then, suddenly my peripheral vision saw a strange car sitting in the other half of my driveway. My reaction was WTF, where did you come from? It scared the heck out of me, and he had the look of fright on his face also.
The other car owner had decided to use my driveway so that he could turn around, and pulled in while I was backing out. Fortunately, I was backing out straight otherwise I definitely would have hit his car.
From then on I never assume some idiot won't pull into my driveway when I'm backing out.

I think y'all have this wrong about the truck driver. He was thinking "That MF blocked my driveway. I will fix his ass!"
I don't buy that. When he looked back his car was rocking. There is no way he did not know.
What is the definition of "park"? Would it still be "parked" if the door dash driver merely stopped (left the car running, etc.) It IS just a dash after all.

I think he just figured he should make the delivery and then deal with the accident which makes sense to me.

1, the dasherdoor guy is an idiot parking in front of someones driveway. 2) The pickup driver must not have looked in the rearview or side mirrors. Also, I thought all modern cars/trucks had parking sensors at a minimum, as well backup cameras?
3) Police drove by right as the dasherdoor guy parked in front of the driveway.
Dasherdoor guy is at fault, though the pickup driver needs a lot more awareness of their surroundings.

People LOVE to block my driveway to just "Run across the street real quick" when the street is wiiiiiiiiide open. Often I am very tempted to back my pickup into them, not like I'll get any damage

The Lubbock Police Department doesn't get involved when a vehicle is blocking or obstructing a driveway unless contacted.
