So I was dropping my significant other off at work so I could keep the car in case an emergency came up with our 7 month old when I hit someone. I had just turned around and checked out the back windshield, started backing up while checking my mirrors, and suddenly there was what sounded like a tin can being crunched. Looked out the back windshield to see a guy getting out of a car (door was open and he was still seated) staring back at me. He went to work and his wife and I called the sheriff out to do a report. They had a couple light scratches which seemed to have peeled paint off of our car.
I was driving his car only because the transmission on mine went out. I am not covered by his insurance. No one was hurt. I could have sworn there was no one behind me when i started backing up. It would not surprise me if they had literally just pulled up. The other driver and I did not swap insurance info directly, but we did both give our information to the officer that showed up. I was not issued a citation.
We were wondering what the possible consequences of this could be.
