What are my options? Very minor accident; only took my registration info and phone number. Should I call him?
This happened in Colorado. Bad snow storm; city was on accident alert. I slid on the ice and the front bumper of my car hit his rear driver side rim. then left minor black scuff marks, about 3 to 4 inches on rear driver side door and driver side door. Looks to appear to have no dents only the black scuff marks. I have no car insurance and the only info he took from me was the registration info and my phone number, not even a name or driver license, no witness either. I only took his name and number.

Does Colorado require you have to car insurance? If you don't and get into a car accident such as you did, do you happen to know if this would be considered a point on your driving record? How long ago did this happen? What did the other driver say to you right after the accident.? What did you say?
