hit and run statute

Read a random definition: dotalitium

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.

There’s someone I found on here with the username threeoutchange and if my understanding is correct that’s a reference to the debut album by a pretty cool 90s-00s Japanese band called Supercar. I geeked a little
