So Dd has been driving a couple of years and backed her car into our driveway last night, we live on a fairly busy village high street. So there was a car right behind her, so she’s indicating, reverses slowly as this car is stopped quite close behind her and didn’t back up any once he realised what she was doing.
she goes in the drive and ten minutes later the doorbell goes. A bloke is there and tells her he thinks she hit his car. Dd says well I never noticed any impact. He actually says to her, “well I didn’t think you hit me but I pulled up outside the chip shop and there’s scuffs down the side of my car”.
dd goes to look at her car and there’s no damage but the guy insisted on her phone number. Dh arrives home at this point and politely told him to jog on after he heard the story.
how the heck can both parties not notice any impact, then just because he notices a scuff on his car he assumes it must be a car which got within a couple of feet of him a few minutes earlier must have done it. But he didn’t notice it and drove off happily?
Dh also pointed out from a physics pov if Dd had hit him the damage would be on the front corner of his car and it was more down his drivers door according to Dd.
I have told Dd if he rings her to tell him who her insurance company is and to tell him to contact his insurance. If it goes this far and dd tells her insurance she didn’t hit him and there’s no damage to her car I assume that will be the end of it?
