So theoretically:
The drive-thru attendant told me to pull up and they would bring me the food and the person behind got theirs first and started honking. I pull up and then put the car in reverse to pull over to the side so they can get by. Unfortunately at the same time they turn to the right and pull up. They stop but I keep going because I thought I had enough room. This all resulted in a scrape on their front bumper by the corner and my rear bumper.
Police are called by the restaurant staff but they don't arrive by the time we leave. I told the person I detail cars and I can polish it out no problem. We exchange insurance information. It seems like the damage is very minor, I think some clay might take care of it, but then I've never tried using clay on a smudge that bad before when I think about it.
My main question is, if I fix the problem, can they still use that insurance info they have on me to sue me? The person seems a little shady and I was wearing nicer clothes today due to an interview so they might think I had money they could make off of me. The car had scratches on it from Chicago's usual street parking practices already so I wasn't too sure about the fact that they didn't just let it go and insisted on getting my insurance information. They got my Policy number and license plate and first name, but not my last name. And am I in trouble for leaving the scene since the police were called?
Here's a pic to demonstrate in case you didn't understand my wording. The yellow is the curb leading out to the exit, which is why I had to reverse, its one of those single-lane drive-thrus. Blue is my car pulling and then reversing, the orange line is the other persons car.
