Q: I’m 15 and just tapped the back of another car in a parking lot? We left a note but what should we do when thy call?
Is my insurance going to go way up?
A:
GREAT QUESTION
Given your age, probably best to have your parent/guardian handle the issue.
A LOT depends on the damage(s), if any.
There are special considerations for provisional licensees. Your parent/guardian may wish to also speak with an attorney.

A: Good thing is no one was in it. Assuming they call, ask for an estimate. You can pay the estimate or pay the price of insurance increases. If you pay the price get a full release of all claims. If they ask why just say if they don't like the job their shop did you don't want them coming back at you.
