Hi

while reversing out of morrisons yesterday i hit a car behind me. I am sure the car wasnt there when i began reversing and i checked several times, however i hit him, it was my fault. I think he drove up behind me as i was reversing

As soon as i felt the bump i jumped out of the car and went to see the damage.The driver of the other car didnt even look bothered or want to get out. eventually he did and i actually knew him from a town i use to live in. I said that i knew his face and he knew mine as he knew my ex wife and family.

anyway, he said i had cracked his driver side headlight, the wing also looked damaged but as far as i know or recall he never mention this.I told him i would sort it to which he replied no it ok, dont worry. he asked me to check his indicator still worked, which it did, again said dont worry got in his car and left. He was staionary at the junction to turn right as i turned left, so was beside him for a short period.The car was old and i could see was other damage as well

there is no damage to my car at all, not even a scuff, i was going v slowly as i had almost stop the reverse move

My question now is, on reflection am worried sick, only been driving 20 months and i have now been told that failure to report it to the police no matter how minor carries a 5 -10 point penalty. It been more that 24hrs now, which according the internet is an offence. another friend said to forget it as the other driver most likely had something to hide, but i am worried he took a note of my reg, may report me, say i failed to stop and claim damages.

what do you think John
