Is it a problem if I hit someone else's car in a parking lot and left?

Leaving the scene after hitting someone else's car in a parking lot does have consequences. If the party involved in the traffic accident drives away from the scene, and there is evidence to prove that the party was unaware or could not have discovered the accident, then subjectively there is no intent to evade legal responsibility, and it cannot be determined as a hit-and-run. Conditions that constitute a hit-and-run in a traffic accident: The party must be aware that a traffic accident has occurred at the time; the party must subjectively intend to evade legal responsibility; and the party must have already left the scene of the accident. Only when all three conditions are met can it be considered a hit-and-run. Penalties for a hit-and-run in a traffic accident: The Road Traffic Safety Law stipulates that in cases where a party causes a traffic accident and flees the scene, the traffic management department of the public security organ will revoke the motor vehicle driving license, and the party will be permanently prohibited from obtaining a motor vehicle driving license again.
