A quick definition of hit and run statute:

A hit and run statute is a law that says if you get in a car accident, you have to stay at the scene and tell the other person or the police who you are, even if it wasn't your fault and even if no one got hurt. This includes accidents with other cars, things like buildings or signs, and people. In New York, if you have an accident, you should stop and check if anyone is hurt or if there is damage to anything. You should exchange your information with the other person and call the police if anyone is hurt or if there is a lot of damage. Then you should wait for the police to come and make a report.

A more thorough explanation:

A hit and run statute is a law that requires drivers involved in an accident to stay at the scene of the accident and identify themselves to the other drivers or to the police, regardless of who is responsible and the severity of the accident. This law applies to accidents involving vehicles, property, and people.

For example, if a driver hits another car and causes damage, they must stop and exchange contact and insurance information with the other driver. If there are any injuries or damages exceeding $1,500, the driver must call 911 or the local police and wait for an officer to arrive and file a report.

The hit and run statute is in place to ensure that drivers take responsibility for their actions and provide assistance to those affected by the accident. Failure to comply with this law can result in serious consequences, including fines, license suspension, and even criminal charges.

@Law-Shark: they didn't say we had to go? and if they are willing to buy rooms for a bunch of people. they sent me a res because I was over 50 miles away but I didn't even ask for one
16:42
@Law-Shark: also kind of rude for you to be speaking to me like that, the event started at 9am and I had to wakeup at 4 to drive in. i was tired and couldn't even check in until 4pm if I wanted to so I just drove back. it's unprofessional to offer it the night before and not the day after. they also didn't feed us actual food and we were there until 2pm.

The fact you didn't think a reservation in your name is something you need to be responsible for and cancel if you weren't going to show up to by sending a simple email is absolutely iresponsible.
16:43
I didn't make a reservation tho?
16:44
Yeah, I would have definitely gone to the hotel if I knew they booked a room for me. At the very least, it would be proper to show up personally and explain your extraneous circumstances
Law-Shark
16:44
Nah but it's in your name. I went to an ASD. I asked the school for an extra night and they gave it to me. You just need to plan things better.

Law-Shark

You live and you learn
16:45
because i did let one of the staff know i'd be leaving early and thought that would be enough
16:46
but i was confused why i got an e-mail with a room cuz I didn't ask for it at all
Law-Shark
16:46
Well, you know now what to do.
16:47
well on their end they prob shouldn't just be buying hotel rooms for ppl who don't request it and then getting mad I didn't go
16:48
goof
16:48
Did you get any materials for admitted students day explaining that they would be booking hotel rooms?
16:49
there was an opt in on the form but I didn't select yes
16:49
Hmm, that's weird
16:50
i think it's unprofessional of them to call you like what if you had an emergency and had to leave? why is it their business why you didn't stay? not like they're lacking money and $100.00 hotel room is gona make them bankrupt
16:50
i figured it was an error and I was on the road so I didn't read into it. plus it would make more sense for it to be the night before cuz it started at 9am? so I was like uhhh and paid it no mind
16:51
@bigfatsloth: that's what i'm saying, they were gonna pay no matter what
16:54
"This is like peak disconenct between the male and female brain." like bffr
16:55
It was probably an administrative error then. I can't imagine why they would book hotel rooms for people that didn't select yes. I would maybe follow up with them and apologize for the misunderstanding to avoid any awkwardness
