just curious, I tot, hit and run involves hitting a person and
then running.. it also involves hitting a car?
what he should do is to put a note under the wiper of the car he
hits, giving his contact and then drive off?
Unless, those chasing him is the owner of the stationary car,
else, why the big ruckus?
seems I am not getting the full picture.
If you hit another car, that already counts as an accident.
And the rules are clear: in an accident with another vehicle,
you must stop and exchange details with the other owner. At the
very least, like you said, he should have written a note and left
it on the car he hit.
The big ruckus is due to the fact that the fella who hit the car
did not bother to do that, and tried to escape responsibility by
removing his licence plate numbers.
Bottom line: if you get into an accident of any kind, and you
don't bother to do anything responsible about it, that counts as a
hit-and-run.
