I had a parking lot incident where someone drove into me while I was still and they deemed it 50/50 even after seeing the dashcam video. I said fuck that, get your supervisor to review it, and within 5 minutes the guy called me back saying how they were doing me a favour and now ruling 25% my fault and 75% the other guy. I told them again to pound sand as it was clear cut that I did absolutely nothing wrong and within a few hours they emailed me saying I'm now 0% at fault. Fuck ICBC.

I knew someone personally who lost in court getting their 25% removed in a parking lot incident that wasn't their fault at all and they weren't moving like you and it call came down to the fact they didn't do "everything possible" to avoid the accident including honking the horn or trying to go in reverse.
Pretty fucking stupid, you shouldn't have to take action to stop someone from hitting you, onus should be 100% on the other person to be aware of their surroundings. Shouldn't need to be laying on a horn or doing something that's actually dangerous like going in reverse suddenly to make up for someone else's carelessness.
