Does Leaving Unknowingly After a Minor Scratch Count as Hit-and-Run?
1 Answers
If the driver leaves the scene of a minor scratch without being aware of the incident, it does not constitute a hit-and-run. Below are specific details about hit-and-run cases: 1. Accident Handling Timeframe: The maximum handling period for minor traffic accidents is 5 days. The public security traffic management department may detain vehicles for up to 40 days at most. The timeframe for determining responsibility is within 5 days for minor accidents, 15 days for general accidents, and 20 days for major or severe accidents. 2. Unaware Hit-and-Run: A hit-and-run refers to the act of fleeing the scene after a traffic accident to evade legal consequences. In the case of a minor collision, leaving unknowingly means the intent is not to evade legal responsibility, so it does not count as a hit-and-run.
