Hello /o/
So i have a question. Today i crashed into another vehicle while in reverse, because i missed an exit and didn't see the car behind me (it was at night in a poorly lighted area).
I understand it was my fault and im an idiot, but the thing is, both cars looked intact.
The car was no more than 3 feet behind me and i stopped pretty quickly, so it was a matter of seconds contact. Not even the plate of the other car was a affected, it looked pretty much perfect except for some dirt. I also have to mention mine is a small 2016 Clio Hatchback and the other car was a Chevrolet Aveo circa 2008, so not big cars, and they still looked intact.
Tomorrow we will go to the mechanic to si if there's any problem. My question is, could it be any damage because of a crash like the one i just described? I'm scared because i don't have much money (poor student) and i don't know how much a bumper could cost. It's possible they have to repair something?
Sorry for the wall of text, but this is making me lose my sleep.

was someone in the other car? if so you're not out of the woods yet, they could show up with a neckbrace and a lawyer.
if it was parked, no harm done. it sounds like you might have been saved by the 5mph bumper

Yes, to people
Took pics of my plate and license.
They were unharmed tho.

in terms of the cars, it sounds minor. but people have been known to show up weeks later with all sorts of "injuries".

Shiiiit OP listen close. Even a few seconds of contact can fuck the calibration of you BFS, or Blinker Fluid Sensor. It's a module in your rear bumper. Usually costs $250-$300 USD for repairs. Idk how much that is in uropoor, but good luck!

and I heard those Renault frames are extra fragile out there across the atlantic, chances are your whole BFS module is bent.

Oh shut up kek, i haven't had an accident before so this is new to me
>>
>>16275310
I should also clarify we're going to go with the people who own the other car, they obviously want me to pay if any damage is found, that's why i'm so nervious

>>16275310
Are you saying you reversed down a traffic lane because you missed your exit?
>muh superior yuropoor drivers ed didn't prevent this

Y-y-yes
There was nothing behind us tho, i literally thought there was nothing behind.
I didn't saw it because he was so close and the lights didn't catch my mirror

Modern bumper covers are pretty fucking tough

Tell them to talk to your fucking insurance you retard.

>>16275808
In my country it's customary to concede and get to an agreement, because involving insurance means a raise in the monthly payment
It's just a lose for everyone at the long run
