Whats the right thing to do?

So a lady reversed into my car this morning, clipping it to be fair,
I got out of my car and asked her did she not see me behind her, she admitted she hadn't.
I had a quick look couldnt see anything but then one of the mums (rather aggressively) asked us to get out of the way so they could get in and out (fair enough) anyway I parked my car but the lady just drove off.
I then got out and examined my car and found the damage to my offside wheel arch. I have taken a picture (thinking this will be timed and dated) what should I do now?

If you have the reg then use askmid to trace the insurer
Then contact them and ask for their innocent third party claims department to deal with it0 -
I didn't get a chance, I will look out for the car on the school runs but thanks to the pushy mum wanting us out the way I didnt get a chance to think straight:hello:"Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit, wisdom is knowing it doesn't go in a fruit salad0

Unless you can get the details you are stuck with either paying your own repairs or (assuming you have comprehensive cover) making a claim on your own insurance which will be a fault claim.
Report her driving off before giving you her details to the police0
