It is hard to determine speed, you would not have seen skid marks as most cars equipt with ABS will leave a skid mark but will only last for a few minutes. Cops just can’t go writing tickets with no evidence.

I’ve been to a lot of collisions and I’ll tell you it doesn’t take much speed to create a lot of damage.

Unsafe backing on the other hand is easy to prove. I know it's a pain but backing into a parking spot is really the way to go.

Sorry for your loss WhatFreashHell.
