- Woman reverses into parked vehicle, looks for damage and drives off
- No details were exchanged or note left for the owner of the parked vehicle
- The incident was captured on dashcam near a New South Wales primary school
- People expressed shock on social media about the driver’s actions
A female driver has been caught on camera reversing into a car before driving away without leaving a note.
The shocking moment was captured on dashcam in a cul-de-sac near a New South Wales primary school in early May.
Despite plenty of room behind her, the driver reverses too far and hits the parked vehicle behind her.

The driver gets out to inspect the damage to the two vehicles
The woman gets out of her Subaru Outback to check for any damage, and after a quick inspection and a sheepish smile, gets back into her vehicle and drives off.
A mother walking down a nearby footpath with a young child in tow can be seen watching on.
The footage was shared to the Dash Cam Owners Australia Facebook page and has attracted hundreds of reactions and comments.
Many commenters expressed their shock at the driver’s actions.
‘Isn’t that a hit and run? People like this deserve to pay the full price the law has to offer,’ one man commented.
Another added: ‘Absolutely pathetic that she checked her car pretty well then drove off!’
Others were quick to point out the accident could have been much worse had it occurred during drop off or pick up time.
‘There is one child running two metres away from her! She could have easily killed a group of children through this reckless act….. She should be charged with negligent driving, endangering the public, hit and run and not using mirrors,’ one man commented.

Another added: ‘At that speed and lack of awareness of her surrounds, imagine if children were around, it is a school zone after all.’
Leaving the scene of an accident is against the law in every state and can be considered a hit and run.
The NSW Police website advises people to call police if details can’t be exchanged at a crash site for any reason, regardless if any damage was caused.
The driver heads off on her merry way without leaving a note for the owner of the car she’s just hit
