Tipped The Bumper

[jennyjoan]

At beginning of April I tipped the bumper of a car in front of me.

No damage done to either car - lad and I just exchanged insurance brokers numbers.

He musta got home to "dad" - received a letter from his solicitor saying that he was in a "collision" with me.

People so so greedy for compo. Hope my insurance does not pay out.

Literally not a mark on either car.

The law states:

You must give your vehicle registration number, your name and address, and that of the vehicle owner (if different) to anyone with reasonable grounds for asking for those details.
If you do not exchange those details at the scene, you must report the accident at a police station or to a police officer as soon as you can and in any case within 24 hours.

and what are the reasonable grounds?

[bhg481]

I would have thought that running into another vehicle was reasonable grounds.

Then perhaps you need to know what the term reasonable grounds mean. one man can strike another man in the face but the man who was struck may have paid him to do so. would there be reasonable grounds for arrest?
