If you were 15 feet away, you had plenty of time and space to stop, and your reverse lights will show that there was a car.
I think, I am just guessing here. You were probably in a rush, not paying attention to what was around you. You may have done a quick glance backwards when you pulled out, but I bet you were going more like 15-20 than 5-8 if he was 15 feet behind you and you broke his mirror.
We are not busting your balls and we ar enot saying you are totally at fault because regardless the guy who parked there was illegal. It has absolutely nothing to do with the justice system.
