I was parking in front of a building at my school when I scratched the car so I automatically pulled out and just sat there not knowing what to do since I’ve never had any car accident or problems and haven’t been in this situation. There was a public safety car by me but it drove away while it happened and there was no one around. I was thinking if I should run inside and tell someone and I didn’t know what to do and I called my mom and told her I was going to go tell someone and she told me not to and to immediately drive away so I did and I just feel guilty and don’t know what to do
To me small scratches are a part of driving. However. If it was a noticeable scrape the polite and decent thing to do would have been to leave a note with contact information. If there was no dent you could have offered to have the scratch buffed out.
Like I said I didn’t know what to do at all I didn’t even know to leave a note I was going to go tell someone and wanted to let my mom know first
If you don’t know the right thing to do when you hit a car please stop driving. You should have left a note. You have shown very poor character. It’s called “hit and run.”
Next time (hopefully there won’t be one), leave a note with your contact info or go in to tell someone. I am a little sympathetic, one of my kids knocked down a fire extinguisher box with my car in the local library ramp in her first year driving. She didn’t know what to do, so she drove home and asked me. I had her call the library and tell them. Your mom gave you bad (and dishonest) advice. But I think if t happens again, you now know what to do.
I really think you’re not reading. I know I feel guilty about the whole thing I already said that but to say I showed bad character, I said I was going to go inside and tell until I was told otherwise. And I’m a great driver I’ve never made any mistake at all until now if everyone makes mistakes that’s not fair to say I shouldn’t drive
