    Maybe he is a bit slow to work out what happened?

    Question, was the truck already there when you parked in front of him? cause there's no way he couldn't see your car over that bonnet, I'd say he's done it on purpose because he thinks you've parked him in, that's why he came back later, had time to cool down and realised what he's done while he had the shits.
    You can even see him idle up gently until it touches and then proceed to push the car forward.

    No, I was parked there from early in the morning. Also there was no one behind him either. He claimed he just forgot I was there & couldn't see me over the front of his truck. It does seem like a deliberate action when viewing the video though. He approached the cab of the truck from the rear & it was over 2 mins after he got in the cab before he started moving so maybe he was on his phone or something?

    No, he's definitely an arsehole (like many truck drivers) who was on his way, but I suspect suddenly remembered there were cameras watching.

    I was actually being sarcastic,
    I know the only reason he would have gone back would have been
    because he was scared about getting caught for not stopping.

    Hey accidents happen but driving away was not an accident.

    Wow industrial estates are always trouble.. not just truckers but other drivers that can't parallel park. To vandalism because some jerk thinks they own a public road spot. But this one takes the cake ..... As bad as the one where forklift driver moves a perfectly legally parked car. Unbelievable how someone could be that dumb.

    I recognised your sarcasm, but it suited my response to quote you. Sadly with the lack of any situational awareness that many oxygen thieves possess these days your statement is actually a genuine possibility.

    I personally doubt that pushing the OP's car was an accident, for me that was just an arsehole who after driving away suddenly realised he might have been sprung. Hopefully I'm wrong though .
