Is a door-scraping incident between two stationary vehicles considered a traffic accident?

[DiHeidi]

Two stationary vehicles scraping each other while opening doors is classified as a parking lot traffic accident, which falls under the jurisdiction of the police. Parking on the left side of adjacent vehicles in parallel parking spaces: This refers to parking your vehicle on the driver's side of adjacent cars in a parking lot. Since drivers naturally pay attention to not hitting other vehicles when opening their doors, parking on the driver's side can reduce the probability of your car getting dented. Whenever possible, choose end-to-end parking spaces: When given the choice between parallel parking spaces and end-to-end parking spaces, opt for the latter. This arrangement ensures that opening car doors doesn't interfere with neighboring vehicles and eliminates the risk of side collisions, effectively preventing damage.
