argh, have terrible need to confess
I bumped into a car last night, I was backing out of a space in a private/shared car park with my lights off (so headlights didn't glare into sitting room of neighbour who kindly lets me park there in the first place, as there is no parking on my side of the lane). Consequently I didn't see the car that had been parked behind me, across a couple of garages, and sort of bounced off it. At first I thought I must have backed out way way further than usual and hit a garage door - but was in a hurry (picking up daughter from airport) so left it until we got back. Obviously this is very wrong of me but they effectively blocked my car in by parking there, and I genuinely didn't/couldn't see it out of rear view mirror over the high head rests of my back seat and the spare wheel on the back window. Which just goes to show how dangerous these Discos are doesn't it? Imagine if it had been a person or a cat etc.
I think the car belongs to someone visiting one of my other neighbours, and I think they must have stayed the night and not discovered the damage (if any) yet. I know I need to confront them and sort it all out, am just absolutely dreading it and hoping it will somehow not be as bad as I think it is. And am also, a bit cross that they parked in such a stupid place - it was dark, car park is unlit and the car in question is a low, dark blue or black sporty thing.
How can I gather together the courage to go and knock on the door and explain myself?
