I lightly hit a car, what will happen?
After leaving work tonight, I tapped the back of another car. I was looking out the right window instead of forwards. I wasnt going to fast because I was getting into a turn lane, just wasn t looking straight. I hit the car, and backed up a bit. The lady looked annoyed, and it was a family. She looked at her bumper, and there were a few scratches, and she wanted my info. I started digging through my car but couldn t find it. I told her that I promise if I give her my phone number, I will have my dad get me the info and I ll give it to her. Her husband didn t seem too concerned, when she asked him to take a picture of my license plates and my drivers license he hesitated a little bit. I was apologizing the entire time, and the husband said no worries, this stuff happens. The wife said that recently she got into a similar accident, and the person sped off, and she didn t want that too happen again. The car wasn t new, a Honda Odyssey, where the scratches almost blended in, because the car was dirty. They weren t bad scratches, but regardless, it s still damage. So what do you think will happen? Will they call asking for info to re paint a old bumber with a few scratches, or is there any chance they could just nod it off? What would you do? Again, they didn t call the police or anything like that, and honestly didn t look too concerned. The wife just had a bad history with stuff like this.
