Hit and run low speed shunt
Discussion
Mrs justinio got home today after work and told me on her way home she was the victim of a hit and run.
She was sitting at a red light after coming off Jct 6 of M25 and a woman driving an Audi Q7 went into the back of her. It was slow enough not to cause any apparent damage on initial inspection, but I've not been put to have a look yet (it's raining!). The shunt was enough to throw wifes head forward and she said it made an almighty bang (the car not her head).
Wife gets out to inspect damage and exchange details. Q7 driver also gets out, inspects damage then goes back to her car. Wife thinks she is going to get her details, but instead Q7 pulls round wifes car and drives off.
I've checked on askmid and the Q7 is insured. What are the next steps?, BiB?, will they be bothered?

Not much of an update, but...
Mrs Justinio has been to see the BiB and formally reported the coming together. She's going to notify her insurance company as, just to cover all bases.
I've had a look at her car, and there is some damage to the rear bumper (panel gaps are all misaligned now).
An interesting point she remembered over the weekend. There was a van driver who leant out of the window and sarcastically said "oh dear had an accident have we ladies" (very useful, well done matey). But then he said to the Q7 woman "maybe you should get off your phone and concentrate on your driving".
Unfortunately my wife was in a bit of a flap with all that was going on and failed to get his details as a witness.
