Hi, Jaybird. My wife just reminded me about a simalar incident but where I was the hitter. This happened about 1965. I was driving a yellow PU from the Co. parking lot. There was a telephone pole to my left that blocked the view at the exit. I stopped, then thinking I was in the clear, started forward when my rider screamed "Stop!" I slammed on my brakes just as this nice car zipped across in front of me. Everything seemed OK so I turned left and was headed home when I heard this frantic honking behind me. Well, the woman said I hit her and should have stopped where I was. I said "nonsense" but she insisted that she felt a bump from my truck so we looked for damage. She had a bit of yellow paint on her chrome trim strip and I had a smudge on the front of the truck. That was all the damage. I wiped her trim with my hankerchief and forgot the whole thing. So I guess it can happen that you can get a minor scrape and the other person not realize they have touched you. (But I would still let them buy me a new paint job!)
