Its against the law to drive off from a accident without informing the other person involved. So it can be reported to the police. But most people will drive off if there is no damage at all

Hi,
The other week, I saw a car bump into another car, whilst reversing out of a parking spot.
Driver just drove off.
I was wondering, do you have to report incidents like these?

What happens if you accidentally bump into a car and there is no damage?

If there was no damage at all to the other car- and you are 100% sure that there is definitely no damage then you could go on your way.
But if there was any damage, then you would have to leave a note giving your details etc so they could sort out you paying for the damage- either through your insurance or otherwise.
The norm is to leave a note under the windscreen wipers, apologising and giving your name and contact details.

Make sure you get pics/video of the car and surrounding to prove there were no people in the car.
If you don't I guarantee in 99% of cases there will be a whiplash claim against you.

You get out, check for any damage, and if there is, you leave your name and phone number under the wing mirror.

If there is no damage there is no need to do anything - if there is I would always report something like that, and have done in the past.
Hi,
When I checked the bumper there was no damage. When I saw the car clip, it was going at about 5-10 mph tbh. There wasn't much noise.
Nothing. You simply forget and move on with life. (Joking for those with no sense of humour).
Keep on driving hoping no one saw it.
Drive off as fast as possible. srs.
