Should I report to car insurance?

[Friendstar]

while getting out of a very tight parallel parking, i gently touched the rear bumper of the car in front of me.

 

it was so gentle that my OC and kids don't even know until i asked them if they felt anything.

 

should i report to car insurance?

 

 

my car has totally no damage at all.

is he within the lot?

If just touch, just let it go. No point reporting in to insurance. Report it only when there is damage done.

[Dawg_getz]

very true..... i gotten my fair share of hit n runs.... then again almost every one who drives will face similar situations....its either ur lucky or not

[Vega]

Ya. If no damage, there is nothing to claim.

[Friendstar]

Yes no damage.

 

But sure got gentle touch. I admit.

 

Thanks all for the vote of assurance.

 

I guess no need to report already

I think gentle touch no damage should be ok la. I also touch other cars a few times already. Sometime parallel parking the lot abit tight I just use the other car as a stopper lo. Slowly reverse. Really slow like crawling. Touch the bumper of the other car to stop then just adjust. Using this method, bumper to bump the other car, I can get into those very tight lots easily.

Oh if owner not even there then don't bother.

Before you do that you better take pictures of the damaged area and make sure he only claims for those areas and not other places. Else later he claim an entire bumper etc.....

but must be well prepared for what goes around comes around...

I treat it as part and parcel of driving and owning a car. Just like those "coins" on the doors. I kana hit on the bumper at carpark twice liao but I just don't bother. Polish off paint marks nia. I did reverse into another car once but no damage to his bumper (some paint crack marks on my bumper). Just forget it.

 

I don't feel its worth losing sleep over such trivial things. Back then I will only get worried if I totaled my car cause I only have 3rd party insurance. But now change car got comprehensive don't need to bother already.
