hi all, today on my way to work i was driveing down a narrow street with vehicles parked either side and speed bumps ie (terrist houses) me and a van met in the middle of the road with none of us beeing able 2 give way to one and othe due to there were no spaces 2 pull in to so we bothe squeezed past each other,unfotunatley i slowly cliped a wing mirror of a parked car 2my left,there was no damage i checked,but i still took its reg number and reported to the police as i didnt know which house the vehicle belonged to,i told the police and they stated that i dont need to report it but i insisted to report it incase there was damage to the mirror that i couldnt see ie the electrics and the owner could contact the police and inform them and could get my details that way,i havent heard anything yet,the police said if no1 reports anything they will drop the case,but for some reason im worried as i worry about everything these days lol,do i have any thing to worry about do you think the police would press charges your answers would be apretiated thanks.

Well I think you did a good job in reporting the fact that you had clipped the wing mirror of a parked car.... Most drivers would not even bother to think twice - even if they had managed to write off someone else's car ! (I live in a terraced property and it has happened to me a few times - last Saturday someone collided with my lovely car whilst I was in bed, asleep, no note left, no acknowledgement of their error... grrrrr... I have to pay for repairs or have my car written off, even though I have fully comp insurance but at the inflated repair charge rates it won't be an economical repair). I doubt very much if the police would press any charges, but I am sure some the legal eagles on here will be able to advise you.

Forget it. Relax. You have done the right thing.

Many cars these days have spiring loaded mirrors which fold and bounce back. The owner may never know you touched it.
