You were very lucky on three counts: understanding driver of the other car, minimal and fixable damage, and most importantly- you were unhurt despite not having your belts on!
I am particularly sensitive to the last item today as my son is currently visiting a hospitalized close friend who was: ejected in a crash this weekend, required an air lift to a trauma center, and has serious injuries. The accident happened at very moderate speed. The impact however, was enough to destroy two cars.
As a parent and a someone sharing the road with you, please do us both a favor and wear the belts- always.
