No. You were the moving object. Can't blame the post because you ran into it.
Few years ago, I turned off a main highway running through a small town.

Now ... should I expect the little town to reimburse me for my damage because they left a hole on the side of the road and I was dumb enough to drive right into it on a perfectly clear, sunny day about 2:00 in the afternoon on a week-day with no traffic anywhere? Hum?
