Can I make my work pay for damage to my car?

My job entails me going out to people's houses and doing quotes and what not for the business and yesterday when it was raining heavily and I was on my way out to do a quote, I accidentally ran my car into the back of a car in front of me. Only minor damage but still an accident.
My question is, can I make my work pay for this considering it was an accident in MY personal vehicle doing a job for them and I would not have been on that road if it hadn't been for the job?
Bear in mind that I never signed a contract with my employer that said I would be required to use my own vehicle for company use.
