Only got insured 2 weeks ago and scratched someones car

If you've just passed your test and have somehow managed to crash into a parked car you're going to struggle to prove damage wasn't your fault.

The onus is on you to prove that the other party caused underlying damage beyond cosmetic. Its rare that a small scrape will cause any damage internally.

Dangerous? Get lost, troll.

TC crashed into a parked car. If you are doing that then you are definitely a dangerous driver.

But aye, get abusive cause you know I'm right.

Minorly scratching a parked car doesn't exactly justify brandishing the OP as a dangerous driver, mate. Pipe down.

Anyone that hits parked cars is a dangerous driver. Not my fault if you also hit parked cars.

Care to explain how a minor scrape correlates to being dangerous? Christ on a bike...

They hit a PARKED car. If you have so little control over your car that you are hitting stationary vehicles then you are dangerous.

She was coming out of a tight parking space, you demented walnut! It's not like she was driving along a road and just decided to hit a car at speed!

Nobody is perfect, and everyone tends to have a minor scrape at some point in their driving career.

Don't be such a prick.

Why you getting mad and abusive?

She hit a parked car so she clearly had no control over the car she was driving and had no positional awareness. Dont see how anyone can argue that isn't dangerous.

Again, if something like this ever happened to me I'd have a mechanic look over it and would be very confident of winning any claim, especially against a new driver.

If someone was so incompetent at driving that they hit my car (happened once before) I would put my car into a main dealer, use only main brand parts and ask the mechanic to look for any other potential damage that isn't instantly noticeable, which I would get rectified. If you crash into someone, you deserve what you get.

Hi i m a new driver . Only got insured two weeks ago. I was getting late for interview and i was getting out tight space and scratched someones car bumper and didnt even realise it and i thought thats my clutch making noise as it does and perfectly drove off. Now after i came back home my husband u scraped someones car and didnt even tell me abt it. the women across the street saw it and told the guy whose car it was. Now i apologized to that guy. and he said he will go privately. The scratch is around 2 inches long and car is 13 years old and volvo grey in colour. I am dreading its gona b too much and feel so stupid. can anyone tell me how much the cost is gona b around or shud i go with my insurance

Ask the owner for evidence that the handbreak issue was solely down to the crash. Otherwise, only pay for the paintwork on the car.

So what you’re saying is: OP should get charged with ‘Driving without due care and attention’ for being a “dangerous driver”, over a little scratch?

Not really sure why you quoted me there, I didn't imply either of those points.

Shame TC isn't as good at missing parked cars as you are at missing the point.
