Clipped someone’s wing mirror?

[lineeyesqueen212]

Hey guys I am just after some advice. I have reported this to 101 online by the way, I am a new driver ( passed in November ) basically I pulled in to give way to a coach as the road had cars on my side. When I pulled out to continue down the road I heard my wing mirror bang in ( was going around 5mph probably ) I couldn’t stop so I continued and went to my house around the corner and dropped my daughter off and went to get pen and paper. I wrote a note to leave on the persons windscreen but I couldn’t figure out which car it was? I checked all cars mirrors for damage and debris and there was nothing on any of them so I couldn’t identify which car it was, I stated on the note my number and if there was any damage I would pay for that of course , has this happened to anyone and what was the outcome? I’m seeing online about points on a license which I really don’t want. It was a clearence mistake on my behalf and I take full responsibility I am just worried now, I did go back and try and resolve it but couldn’t identify the car so I reported it to 101 just in case the other person has reported it, any advice will be very appreciated.

thanks

Wing mirrors fold in now. At that speed you probably just folded yours in. You checked to see if there was damage. Not sure what else you could have done?

Wing mirrors do bounce, you obviously didn’t do any damage so don’t worry about it.

A van clipped my wing mirror and it hadn’t caused quite enough damage so he reversed back and smashed the whole bloody lot into pieces. So if you couldn’t tell which car you hit then there has been no damage and you don’t need to feel guilty.

It will be fine. If anyone reports the damage (which there probably isn't and which they probably won't even if there was) 101 have your report so everything is fine and nothing bad will come of it.

It’s fine, at a low speed it wouldn’t have done any damage anyway. I wouldn’t have even reported it but I’m a rebel 😜

All sorted on the police side thanks guys they no further actioned it on their side so that’s my anxiety eased lol , I already have 3 points on my license so if I had anymore I know id lose my license so was worried! Thanks all

@DtotheOG what a d that van driver was🤦🏽‍♀️ thanks so much for your reply

Fortunately the neighbours heard the noise and confronted him so he knocked on my door to apologise. And I took photos, emailed his company and they paid for the repair. Wing mirrors are quite robust and should withstand a moderate amount of impact.
