Car permit · Crashes and insurance
You lightly hit a parked car and cannot locate its owner. What are you required to do?
Correct answer: Put a note on the car showing your name, phone number, and address.
Answer options
- AStay at the scene for as long as it takes the owner to return
- BPut a note on the car showing your name, phone number, and address Correct
- CDrive away, since no one saw the crash happen
Why
When you damage an unattended vehicle and its owner is nowhere to be found, leave a note in a visible, secure spot with your contact information; many states also require you to report the crash to the police. Driving off without doing this counts as hit-and-run, but you are not expected to wait for the owner indefinitely.
