Guys, Help me out here!
Like a total fool i had a go on a mates 125CC scooter the other night, i dont have a CBT or Insurance for a scooter. I somehow managed to ride straight into a parked car as the throttle was not sprung loaded like every other bike i have ever ridden, i got the end of the avenue, brakes applied... was turning right but soon as i let off the brake the throttle was still cranked up so there was very little turning and i plowed into the side of a car, damaged the side skirt and a little scratch on the door. as it happens the owner is yet to find out as they are away, most of the ave have seen it now as it was caught on my CCTV but they are all telling me to not own up and keep quiet, i am an honest guy and if i didnt own up it would eat away at me etc etc.
Now the problem i have is as mentioned, no CBT or Insurance, how will this affect my Car license etc?
I know i am in the wrong and i am a fool for being on the road etc but what is done is done, i can now only deal with the consequences.
I was thinking of 4 outcomes, the owner could turn round and say "Forget about it" (its 2003 C3), she can agree to settle by way of cash payment, she can agree to settle mutually by way of i pay to get her car repaired or she may want to go through insurance... which is where my bottom twitches, if this is the case then ill either have to say it was done in my car OR deal with the legal lashings.
What can i expect. what would you do?
