Out delivering, 17th Dec’, and this happened… Outside a very busy school, at drop-off time, I bumped into a car.
As the video above shows. The contact was minimal. And has done little if any real damage to either vehicle. Both have what look to me to be very minor scuffs, basically. It was my fault. And I wish it hadn’t happened. But I’m not sure it warrants making an insurance claim.
I think some buffing will remedy the ‘damage’ to Flo’. I’ll be doing that tomorrow.
The lady whose car I bumped into seems set on getting me to fund repairs to her car. She has asked me to settle outside of insurance. I can’t afford to do that.
Personally I don’t think the damage to either vehicle is sufficient to warrant ‘repairs’. I believe both her car and ours will be fine with some buffing. I don’t believe the scratches go through to the metal bodywork.
I gave the lady, Aby, my number. And I’ve contacted my insurer. I guess we’ll have to see what transpires?
I watched the above short video, by Lindy Beige, which deals with a similar yet slightly different scenario.
