Question
Hello.
Someone was driving in reverse and is unsure whether he damaged another car. Is he obligated to pay him, or to leave his contact details?
Answer
Shalom u’vracha.
He is exempt from paying and does not need to leave his details.
Source
When a person does not know whether he became liable (i.e., whether he caused damage), he is exempt, and leaving his details would not help, because even if the damaged party claims that he was indeed harmed, he can respond, “I don’t know,” and be exempt.
