WWYD hit a parked car

I reversed into a car in a train station. Took reg details and photo of damage and informed my insurance. Damage is minimal (photo proof). I didn’t have anything to hand to write a note. Would you just forget about it and see what happens and would you worry about it. What would you have done differently? I do feel awful about this and hate that I’ve done this

At the very least, you should be leaving a note and reporting it to the train station. You would be able to get hold of a piece of paper and a pen pretty easily, surely.

Go into the station and leave your details. Such a pain for them if you don't tell them how to contact you and so unfair. You've already told your insurance which means you have nothing to lose money wise and everything to gain karma wise! I would never walk away even though it's tempting because it's been done to me and it's horrible. There'll be cctv anyway.

I'd have gone in to the train station for paper and pen likely to leave a note or even called the police to report it so it isn't put down as a hit and run if they get cctv from the train station but your insurers should be able to contact theirs using their reg, not sure if they will though as never been in that situation.

Honestly, driven off as quick as possible!

I would have gone to the nearest shop / house etc and got something to write on to leave my details. They may contact their insurance to find you but unlikely as they wont want it going against them if you haven't declared it. I will probably also put a post on the local town facebook page asking them to contact you.
