Minor bump in car park
My wife has received from the Met police a request for information. she has been alledged that she drove without due care, and failed to report an accident. this all refers to her parking in a supermarket car park. She says that she remembers slightly touching a parked car when trying to park in a tight space, but looked out the windowe and did not see any damage.
What should we do and what the realistic outcomes here?
You need to write back naming her as the driver otherwise she will get 6 points for failing to name the driver.
She could be at risk of 5-10 points for fail to stop and report and driving without due care and attention.
I have a very good track record at dissuading the police from taking further action in relation to these matters. I succeed over 83% of the time in avoiding court proceedings.
