I was turning onto my residential street, and there was a truck up ahead going at a moderately slow rate. I cont. my speed (faster than his) until I was driving close behind him. He slowed down and came to a stop so I did too. He was stopped for a couple of seconds and I assumed he was turning into a driveway, however, I saw his backup lights come on and I immediately laid on the horn. I knew I didn't have time to backup but I honked for what seemed like a couple of seconds. However, he still backed into me. He had missed the house he was looking for and realized he had passed it... We didn't call the cops and he admitted it was his fault, but I just got an estimate and it is going to be a lot of money to replace my whole bumper. I am feeling guilty for some reason and don't want to ask him for the money if it was at all my fault. When we were both stopped, if I was too close to his truck for him to see me or if I came up to fast behind him initially, is it my fault? thanks!
