Car accident
Hi, before i get flamed for this i hold my hands up and know im in the wrong.
Back in oct last year i had a minor bump in a carpark in the van i was driving while reversing, i know im stupid but i thought id hit a curb or somthing not another car. Anyway long story short i drove away, next thing an insurance assessor contacts me from the other people and i tell him yes kn the carpark but stupidly didnt realise if i had hit anything and if i did im really sorry and will pay for damage, no people were hurt.
Fast forward to this saturday and the police contact me for a statement which today i gave. Omg im in bits now, clean driving licence for 25 years and no convictions for anything so no dealings with police ect, anyone any thoughts or know the procedure for this please . Thankyou

Reversed, felt contact, didn't look to see what it was and then drove off.
Bang to rights for a fail to stop.
Yes you are correct, still bloody potholes0 -
Good news, had a letter from police yesterday and no further action to be taken, yayyyyyyyyyyy relief0

If anything similar happens again, it's probably a good to get some advice before agreeing to talk to the police.0
