    Car bumps

    Your reversing along a very tight residential street in the dark, in the rain late at night and you hit a car. Smashing the front and setting off the car alarm.

    What would you do?

    i've had my car bumped, scratched, and also keyed! i would always leave my details.

    i have ended up paying everytime out of my own pocket due to the cost of making a claim on my insurance. people who drive off are no better than a thief who breaks to steal a car stereo.

    no fucking way, you've damaged someone elses property. grow some balls and own upto the damage caused by your shitty driving.

    if i saw someone do it to someone elses car, i would have no problem what soever leaving their registration for whoever had been bumped and i would also testify against them. it a criminal offence to drive off after you've hit another vehicle.

    it is a crime against someones personal property. i feel the same contempt for ****'s who do that and don't rectify their actions, as i do for people who steal.

    the end result is the same, the victim is out of pocket. usually more so than having a radio twoced!

    The point is so that the person who causes the damage should pay.

    You would be suprised how many claims come in for stuff like this. when I worked at an insurance brokers I was mainly working from the claims department, there was loads like this

    I'd probs leave a note or hang around for the owner, I'd expect the same to be done in the opposite situation.:)

    i'd leg it. people have done it to me. i have no conscience.

    my car currently had 4 bumps/scrapes down the side from where i park when at work. i've been hit on 4 seperate occasions and no-one has left their details.

    why should i suffer when they get off scott free.
