    Thank you for the replies. He was more annoyed that the person hadn't left a note he said if they had he would have just binned it anyway for honesty. He was parked well within the parking space lines and was able to get in and out the door without damaging the next car door. Thank you all for the advice, it's not worth pushing his insurace up its just under £2000. He just wondered if he should make the police aware what had happened.

    If you tell the Police, then you need to tell your insurance whether you claim or not. Especially as you don't know definitely a vehicle caused it (could even be a pushchair being carried past).
    Best just to forget it happened.

    Disabled badge holders? My partner is one and he doesn't make a habit of crashing into cars. Just because he's disabled doesn't make him automatically a worse driver! Also, I don't always reverse park at the supermarket as I want easy access to the boot to put my shopping away. If I don't reverse park, I tend to keep an eye on the entire car and not just the back end. Maybe I'm the exception that proves the rule... ;)

    Woah, chill.....
    I think the issue may be less to do with the driving and more to do with having to fully open the doors and/or knocking with a wheel chair.

    Personally I just avoid parking next to cars with kid seats and 4x4s.

    This ^^

    In fact it's more to do with disabled (genuinely) badge holders being forced to park in normal spaces, because the disabled spaces have been converted to BMW X6 parking.

    That he has a scratched mirror casing?

    Probably not I'd say, but then I'm a bit of a maverick :D
