The other car got some scratches at bumper and tail light got damgaed only so my question is that does it affect my pubilc record and what type of point will I get,does it required any police report for claims?

Did you leave!? Does the other person even know you did this?

I don't know what you mean by a public record unless it's hit and run or some other type of violation and you are talking about a record with the DMV or traffic court.

I would guess the other driver didn't insist on filing a Police Report - or filling out an Incident Report/Exchange of Information.

If you don't want to report the accident to your insurance company, if that is your question, then pay for the damages out of your own pocket but pay quickly because the other driver could very well get sick of waiting and file a claim with your company.

I would guess there were no physical injuries and you exchanged information?

If you left you'd better make sure that the parking lot doesn't have a camera recording system. If you say it was just a scratch the police doesn't necessarily has to be involved but it depends on what you decide with the other driver. There's also the insurance company to consider. It happened to me in the <a href="http://www.parking4less.co.uk/gatwick_airport_parking.htm">Gatwick parking</a>, it was a stressful episode but I didn't left, the man had insurance on his car, he called for the agent, he came and we explained him how it happened.

This thread is from 2008 - I'm sure the problem is solved by now.

I can't open the site you posted. What is it?

Works fine for me.
Gatwick Parking - Compare Prices for Parking at Gatwick (http://www.parking4less.co.uk/gatwick_airport_parking.htm)
It's an airport outside of London. Just have to know what portion to cut and paste. :)

Was it worth the time?

I thought it was an ad of some sort!
