I watched this woman reverse into somebodies parked car today causing 2 scratches on the bumper and a slight dent. She started to drive away then decided to park up and have a look. I don't know if she was going to drive off or not until she saw me watching her. I took her number plate and said nothing. Because I walk through this car park 4 times a day it is likely I will see the car that was hit again, should I leave a note on the car saying I saw what happened or just stay out of it?

Yes - leave a note. The other driver may be very grateful to you. I believe people should always own up to their errors and make amends if possible.
Yes, do leave a note. The damage may seem minor but it could be expensive to repair.
Yes anything to highlight the irresponsible actions of women drivers and the FACT they shouldn't drive at all should be adhered to.
This may not be an intelligent answer Bewlay but on behalf of women drivers I deliver to you a big, fat, loud

Hey, Wardy! I've had two pretty serious car accidents since I started driving and both times the other driver was responsible- and they were men! :o)
I once owned up to a slight bumper scrape I caused on a car in my street, I had seen the owner park before so knew who she was, she was extremely grateful and even more surprised that I came to her door and owned up. I couldnt have slept if I hadnt.

A staggerring 37 percent of ALL accidents are caused by women.

Ban them from the road and accidenbts will therefore reduce by, errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr 37 percent.

It really is that easy.
errrmmm so does that mean that 63% are caused by chimpanzees than wardy? lol
good one that,dot
Women may well account for 37% of accidents, but the statistics show that their claims are usually low speed imapcts (ie reversing into walls, clipping parked vehicles, etc).

Working for a well known womens insurers, I can conclude this is generally correct - us blokes (me included) have a tendency to completely wreck our cars and anything else in our way when involved in an accident. The last insurer I worked for, I dealt with taxi, commercial, and modified car policies - yep, predominantly male, so I speak from experience.

So yes, granted taking women drivers off the road would theoreticaly reduce accidents by 37%, but the cost of claims wouldn't significantly reduce as men tend to be the one's who kill and injure other drivers more often.
I had some fool reverse into my parked car at speed -as I exited a shop, walking back towards my car he looked it over and told me "it woz nuffin love! "-the damage he did cost over a thousand pounds to fix. Please leave the note.
