Car permit · Crashes and insurance
You scrape an unattended parked car, causing minor damage, and its owner is nowhere to be found. What are you required to do?
Correct answer: Leave a note on the car giving your name, address, and phone number.
Answer options
- AWrite down the parked car's plate number and then drive on
- BLeave the scene, since no one was inside the parked car
- CLeave a note on the car giving your name, address, and phone number Correct
Why
When you damage an unattended vehicle and cannot find its owner, you must leave a written note in plain view that tells the owner who you are and how to reach you: your name, address, and phone number. Driving off without leaving that information, even after a minor bump, is treated as leaving the scene of a crash.
