Parked in small supermarket - got back to car after 20 mins, van driver points to a car that has backed into me and then driven off and parked in another part of car park.
Van driver gives me his details. I wait for owner to return who at first denies it - when I say there is a witness she fesses up. She argues she did not leave scene as she is still here.

As I now have her details in no way due to her honesty the police are not interested.

It is pouring with rain and cannot see any damage as yet so will have to check tomorrow but witness said it was quite a thump.

At least van driver had integrity  - his words were he would not want it happening to him.

Sorry to say but that is a common trait these days, no one wants to take responsibility for their actions. Hope damage is not too bad mate.

Supermarket car parks seem to count for so many dents/scuffs and as said no-one seems to be honest enough to own up

[STEMO]

Don't get me started on this. Every car I have ever owned has been dinked  in a car park. Not just supermarket car parks, any car park. Not front or rear, but the doors, mainly because the spaces are so small that you can hardly get in or out without twotting the car next to you.
Some people are careful  but others, esp those in coupes with doors like effing big sails, fling them open with gusto.

Good for the van driver for informing you,poor show-but the norm these days I think-on the other drivers part for not owning up when confronted about it.Hope any damage to your car is minimal at worst.Saw a woman in a Jeep Cherokee in a local supermarket today,made a right dogs dinner of getting out of a parking space-something like a 20 point turn but at least she didn't hit anything

My mate parks his Insignia in the furtherest corner of a car park and when he gets back he still finds cars parked up close as possible, . Paranoid or what. So far no scuffs so who am i to take the pish.

I had a woman open her car door into my car while I was still in it. I got out to investigate and she totally denied it even though I had her red paint mark on my car!

I had never seen a Phaeton before Friday. Ergo must have been you pscocoa on the A1 south on Friday. Looked very nice in black of course.

I park at the other side of the store in supermarket car parks ...... generally with my nearside tyres on the line on the left - it discourages others from that space ........  other times i just use 2 of them

Nice to know some folk do look out for you .
Like has been said the spaces are far too small , there are certain spots that you have to do a 20 point turn to get out

I'm not sure that I'd have the front to park across two spaces, Andy: but then, I do park in parent/child spaces where possible (but NEVER in a disabled bay) because of course they are wider. I do have an excuse when my baby boy is with me, even though he is 38!
Er, why does it always seem to be women, especially in supermarket car parks? They pay more attention to getting their "little accidents" out of their cars than looking where the doors are bashing into.....

I only do it on the other side of the car park away from the store when there are plenty available ...... an R Class is a wide car  and I'd prefer others not to park next to me

The van driver said the lady "did not have a clue as to what was around her, reversing blind in the dark in heavy rain". Still damn well raining now. Have to make the journey south in a couple of hours as well.

Don`t think I`d have the balls for that either seeing as I criticise every body I see doing it, but I can totally understand when you have paid a large amount of money for a car.
