Leaving the Scene of an Accident
Punishable hit and run.
Anyone who leaves the scene of an accident without enabling the necessary determinations to be made commits a criminal offense (hit and run). Even for a minor parking dent, leaving a note on the windshield is not enough; one must wait a reasonable amount of time or notify the police.
