Maybe relevant: As I was driving my car into a parking space, the guy in the next car over suddenly opened the driver’s side door. It happened so quickly no human could have stopped in time. At first his insurance tried to blame me, but my insurance pointed out that he was at fault because he opened his door into traffic. He paid for damages.
