This hasn't got anything to do with Bipolar but I'm feeling really guilty.
Somebody reversed into my car on Friday, they left minor scratches on the bumper, bonnet and cracked my registation plate. I managed to just write down the reg before they drove off. They did get out, but only for a small moment to look at the damage, I was across the road.
Because I didn't know if they were a parent from the school or not, I still had to sort things out and get their details from the police station and fill out an incident form.
On Monday, they parked in exactly the same place at the school, (that's when I knew they were one of the parent's).
I parked a couple of parking spaces up, I was going to wait and try and talk to the person, but thought i'd leave it.
I now feel so guilty because this person may get a fine for driving off, we all have enough stress in our lives to have to deal with, than having to deal with things like this. But, this person hasn't gone out of their way and informed the school to try and find me or anything, (so this kind of puts me in two minds) - Though, I do still feel guilty.
Do you think, that if I see the car again tomorrow, and was to wait around for that person and talk to them/swap insurances etc, also let them know about having to get their details from police, if they were to then go down to the Police Station and explain their bit and that we've swapped details, they will let them off the fine ?
I've been worrying about this all night, I really don't want this to be going through the police.
Do you think they will let the person off and not fine them ?
