I clipped a parked car but didn't stop - should I report it to the police?
Earlier today I clipped a parked vehicle. Initially I though I had just knocked my mirror but later realised I had scratched the body of my car I am now worried I may have damaged the other car. I did not leave my details so should I report this to the police on a self-report form in case the driver reports the incidence and wants my insurance details. Will anything happen to me if no one contacts the police? I now know that leaving the scene without leaving your details is a criminal offence.
