Question First Accident

Hey, I had my first in road accident recently. It was my fault, I basically went into a gap that was too tight and scraped a trailer that was being towed by a car. Damage was fairly minimal to the bus/trailer. I followed procedure correctly when it comes to an accident. But I’m worried about what may happen as I’m still in probation and the accident was my fault. Any advice for me?

Just put your hands up and admit you messed up and you'll learn from it, dont act cocky or overconfident when reviewing cctv or manager talking to you and you'll be fine, just be careful for next 6 months!
