According to recent NRMA research 70 per cent of drivers having had their car damaged while it was parked in Sydney suburbs.
INRMA Insurance spokesperson Andrew Tubb explained that the inner City where you’re most likely to return to your parked vehicle and find it damaged with no note followed by the Inner West and Eastern Suburbs.
“Sometimes people may not realise they’ve hit another vehicle or maybe they think it’s such a gentle hit they haven’t done any damage.” Mr Tubb commented.
Mr Tubb also mentioned that in less than nine per cent of cases drivers would leave a note with their contact details.
“No matter what the reason, if drivers do accidently hit a car while parking, we’re encouraging them to do the right thing and leave a note – you never know when you might be on the receiving end and find your car damaged,” Mr Tubb said.
