I was driving my bike to go to the bank, (btw, the road was narrow).

then i slowed down to a stop coz a car was coming from the other lane

and a car was park in front of me. (forgot to mention my helmet was hanging on the right side of my bike.)

now this is where i made a stupid mistake, I tried to squeez in between the park cark & the other car from the other lane.

I know my bike would fit in perfectly, but I forgot about my helmet.

so what happened the helmet bump into the parked car.

now this is where i made my 2nd mistake,

I drove outta there.

i know there were no damages, maybe a tiny scratch on the car. but I still feel bad about it even though i didn't physically hurt anyone.

nyway lesson I got, whenever you had an accident on the road. you should at least stop even if its small & specially if its ur fault.

Correct in every particular. (except the grammar)

This is more complicated than you might think.

Question: when you say "bike" do you mean <u>Bi</u>cycle or <U>motor</U>cycle?
Reason for question: <I>how quickly and unidentifyably were you able to get away?</I>

Some people might make a big deal over a small abrasion on their car's finish that might very easily be polished out - alternately, the owner might be more understanding if their auto is older and has a few dents and/or dings.

And there might be any mixture of the aformentioned attitudes.

If someone drives and parks their ride in a parking lot or street, sooner or later they are going to have to realize the vehicle is going to sustain some damage. This is why collectors seldom or never take their prizes out of the garage or warehouse.

When you stop and take the blame, all you are doing is giving someone a target of opportunity to go off on for any and all their life's accumulated pent up rage and hostility.

If you are careless and inattentive and inflict some minor damage - as opposed to causing some significant harm or injury - you might be well advised to just get the hell out of the locality as quickly and surreptitiously as possible for your own good.

Chalk it up to experience and just be more observant in the future.

I have had my car hit and run 3 separate times now in the 2 1/2 years I have had it (I bought it brand new off the lot), and only once has someone left me a note about it, and it was when they pulled in (I was backed into a spot against a wall) and they hit my front bumper and scratched it a bit. Because the guy left me a note and was so apologetic about it, I let it go and told him not to worry about it just because he did take the time out to leave me a note since no one else would.

The other two idiots who have hit my car have done significant damage but would not take responsibility for it. The second hit just damaged my back right passenger panel and looks like hell, but I can live with that. This last hit though, I got rear ended when someone tried to park in the spot I was in (it's a small compact car, everyone here drives trucks) and now I can't get my trunk open.

Needless to say, I can't afford to get my car fixed on college student's budget. But it's nice to see that you feel sorry and wish that you had stopped to leave a note because so often I overhear people who say, Oh yeah, I hit a car the other day and scratched up the whole left side of it, but I just kept right on going! It's comforting to know some people out there still take responsibility for their actions.
