Apparent hit and Run
Hi. I was recently in a car with my mum who was driving. She has a provisional licence but I have a full licence which I have held for over 3 years. Basically, we went to pick up my nephew from nursery and a few days later, received a letter from the police that the vehicle was involved in a hit and run. We later found out that whilst my mum was trying to park at the nursery, 2 witnesses saw her bump a teachers car with hers. Now I was in the cars and I didnt feel anything, however if there were 2 witnesses, then my mum is willing to take responsibility. Now we have gone back to the nursery to speak to the teacher but she has refused to discuss anythin with us and wants the police to sort it out.
We have also realised that the teachers car has no dent on it watsoever and neither does my mums. The teacher however claims that when she went back to the car that day, she realised it was not in the same position as when she parked.
Does anyone know what the procedure would be in this case and if my mum would get points on her licence?
She would take full responsibility if she did hit the car but she wouldnt want to go to court regarding it as she has anxiety problems.
I apologise for the long essay.

Surely they haven't charged her wth anything, just collecting evidence? Do they not want a statement?
Presumably any subsequent charge would be something around failing to stop and report an accident. If if there is no damage to either car, there was no accident.
What you you mean the teacher's car was not in the same position as when she parked it?
