I bumped a car today and didn't leave a note...
Discussion
I feel bad. I do. This feel like a confession!
I bumped it so gently I didn't even consider that there would be a scuff so I drive off. When I get to where I'm going 5 mins away, I check out my car and notice a 3 inch by 3 inch mark on the bumper. I rub it off with a damp cloth, and it's 99% not visable but I felt bad, so I prepared a note and went back to the other car, which was still there.
When I get to it though the car was covered in rust - really really badly, it looked like the windscreen was being held in with tape, and plenty of scuffs all over it and generally an absaloute shed.
I didn't leave my note as I didn't want to get rinsed for sorting out paintwork that was damaged way way beyond the scuff I could have left - it was genuinly difficult to tell if I had scuffed it on account of the poor paint condition!
What would you have done?

It's called the rat look, the owner has probably spent tens of thousands deliberately making it look like that.PurpleMoonlight said:

It's called the rat look, the owner has probably spent tens of thousands deliberately making it look like that.in my early days of driving I was down a narrow residential road, i tucked into a gap between the parked cars to let an oncoming vehicle pass then I went back into the road. crash. I didn't turn the wheel enough and knocked my front left corner into the rear right corner of a land rover. the landy had just a scratch. On my mk2 fiesta the indicator cluster was broken and the frame for the headlight completely bent in!

They will not even notice it - Had it been "properly" damaged, then you should have left a note.I bumped it so gently I didn't even consider that there would be a scuff so I drive off.

One thing I wouldn't do is confess on here with my name and car/registration clearly showing in my profile I bumped it so gently I didn't even consider that there would be a scuff so I drive off.

I think you did enough to Harecastle clear conscience.
I've had it where someone hit my car and left but with no sign of damage I wasn't bothered.
I also remember an occasion when a guy came rushing over to me to apologise for hitting my bumper. We couldn't decide which of the marks on.m my old Senator was his and so laughed it off and forgot it.

Silly bint banged her door into my car a few weeks back; had the car 3 weeks. I know it was her because after leaving her a note inviting her to make contact to discuss amicable and cheap repairs, I had to return to the car fearing I had (Indeed I had) stupidly left it unlocked. Came face to face with her. Funnily enough, when asked to open her door it exactly fitted the dent, and funnily enough, she admitted it was probably her that dented it, and funnily enough, I never heard from her again.
It's nice to think my insurance would have given her a lot of grief but a PDR man sorted it for £70 and life's too short isn't it. Some people are justs.
