So today when I got out of my car the strong wind caught my door and knocked it into the car next to me. It caused a or small scratch where my paint transferred onto their car and a little tiny ding in the door panel.

I felt quite bad about it and went into the shop and when I came back to my car the man was there so I let him know that had accidentally cause damage to the vehicle. initially I was so panicked. I didn't know what to do so had decided to leave a note when I came out the shop but he was there.

The guy took down my reg and my phone number and I guess I'm very worried now about what's going to happen. I don't want them claiming on my insurance ideally because it will go up £80 a year and only lose 2 years no claims.

Realistically it's done now but can anyone advise what I should expect to happen now. Do I just wait for them to contact me?

The damage is so minor. I really don't foresee it costing much to fix at all. The other car was 10 years old so nothing brand new or expensive.

Some people will say I should have driven off and in hindsight I feel that way right now but I didn't and we are where we are.
