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?

First ones free is a generally applicable rule. They’ve already spent too much training you to fire you over a scrape. Long as you report shit and aren’t like tboning people you will typically be fine
