Cut a long story short; I was driving down a side road a car coming in the opposite direction clipped my car, the driver didn't stop. I noted the number plate and reported it to the police, they've caught up with the driver who claims she didn't stop because she didn't realise there had been any contact. The police say there is no visible damage to the other drivers car, which frankly I'm astounded at. We're not talking about high speed collisions, we were both crawling past each other and the damage to my car amounts to scratches to driver's and passenger doors with a very minor dent to the passenger door edge.
I can't believe there was no damage to the other car, she's either somehow managed to defy the laws of physics or has had the car repaired in the meantime. My question is how far will the police go in examining her car? Will they try to determine whether it's been repaired or will they leave it at a visual inspection? I'm going to see the officer I've been liasing with and I don't want to make a fool of myself by asking for the unreasonable e.g getting forensics on the job.
