This morning on the way to drop ds at school (a drive I have done for 10 years) I clipped another car and took off my wing mirror.
I heard the bang but didn't realise my wing mirror was hanging off for at least 50 yards and was running a bit late. By the time I said to ds, what happened? we were another 100 yards on. I was in shock and dropped him at school (90 sec - he hops out as I pull up - he's 18 so no danger).
Realising what had happened I went back to the spot and parked and examined all the the parked cars for damage to leave a note with details, etc.. I couldn't see any damage.
It all happened so fast - but I should have stopped and I didn't am now really worried that I will be reported for not stopping after an accident.
There's not much I can do but I feel absolutely dreadful and terrified someone will have taken my number and reported me.
My wing mirror looked wrecked but I went straight to my mechanic and he says he can repair with half a wing mirror and it will only cost about £100 but that's not the point - I didn't stop and I feel terrified and awful because I should and I can't really explain why except for the shock factor and that I was 150 yards away and almost at school before it happened.
Oh that sounds pathetic - but 30 odd years of driving and I've never done anything so stupid.
