I was in my co-worker's Lexus ES 350 as he was driving through a parking lot at work. He accidentally scraped the front left of the car above the wheel because he manoeuvred too close to the concrete base of a lamp post.
I'm telling him he should report because it's going to be over $1000 to get that fixed. But he doesn't want to because it really wasn't a "collision" so to speak as no other cars were involved, and it was in a private parking lot anyway. He doesn't want it messing with his insurance record, or interfering with the lease return. He wants to pay privately to fix it. No other car was damaged other than his own.
Doesn't he have 48 hrs to report before he creates bigger troubles for himself? Or am I just being overly paranoid and pestering him over nothing?
