When I totaled my first red FRS somebody ran a stop sign and smashed into me. I was knocked out, got whiplash, concussion etc their vehicle rolled over top of mine - both vehicles were write offs. They tried to make the argument that I was speeding and the accident was my fault - despite the fact they completely blew a stop sign.
The conclusion of it was, whether I was speeding or not was irrelevant. They ran a stop sign into my vehicle. The insurance company paid me out plus some for injuries (never got the full pay out till a year later had to go through a lawyer for the injuries) but the police and insurance company immediately sided with me for who was at fault and never questioned my speed because to them it would have made no difference - you don't blow a stop sign.
It's similar in this case, it doesn't matter where your car was parked - if they have a problem with it they can call bylaw and try to get it towed- but even if you parked and blocked the guys driveway and he decided to hit you he should still be at fault for hitting your vehicle.
So him getting out and measuring some BS and going on about laws doesn't matter, none of it does, if he had a problem with your vehicles location he should have contacted bylaw, the police or went and talked to you. Part of driving is being aware of your surroundings, whether that's a 3 year old toddler walking down the sidewalk into your driveway where they should not be, or a car parked where it should not be. He should not have hit your vehicle period. If I were you I would have told him right off instantly.
