Hit and run parked car

[keojam80]

In my work van I went into a petrol garage to use the loo. Got back in van and reversed into a parked car behind me (in a delivery drivers only spot) I bumped the car at snails pace, very light bump.
My colleague and I both got out and had a look, not a scratch on the car or the van. Couldn't see anyone coming so we both agreed it was ok to go because there was no damage what so ever.
Three months later, the police have been into my work place asking about the van and the driver. My work have passed on my home details to the police, so I'm expecting them.

What's going to happen? I didn't think I had done anything wrong but it seems I should have reported anyway?
There was 100% no damage or scratches. I think someone may have saw it happen and told the driver.
What's likely to happen?

I think everyone is missing the fact that there must have been some sort of obvious damage to the car if the driver followed up and asked for CCTV footage.

I think you might be minimising the damage done OP.

If they said you hit them in June, do you have proof you were elsewhere then?

It doesn’t really matter how much damage was done, it’s a criminal offence under the Road Traffic Act to just leave the scene of an accident and not report it. It doesn’t matter if you have had a look and deemed it to be fine to leave. The fact they have CCTV is proof of you leaving the scene without leaving details and the fact you haven’t reported it also goes against you. That’s why the police are involved, if there’s cameras then they can’t be lying about the actual damage, but the fact you hit their car and then essentially fled the scene is an offence.

It could well have taken this long to get the cctv footage through to take this further, I was in an accident that wasn’t my fault earlier this year and there was cctv covering the area, we requested this straight away but the company would only show the police as is the law apparently and it took the police nearly 7 months to go check this as naturally it isn’t a priority.

This is a work van, so presumably the insurance part would be handled by your work?
