Is It Considered Hit-and-Run If You Scratch a Car and Flee?
1 Answers
Scratching a car and fleeing is considered hit-and-run. Below is relevant information about hit-and-run after scratching a car: 1. Legal Basis: If a party scratches someone else's car and then flees the scene, it falls under the circumstances stipulated in Article 3 of the "Supreme People's Court's Interpretation on Several Issues Concerning the Specific Application of Law in the Trial of Criminal Cases of Traffic Accidents." This constitutes a hit-and-run, and the party who flees after a traffic accident shall bear full responsibility. 2. Mitigating Circumstances: If there is evidence proving the other party is also at fault, the responsibility may be reduced. If a party intentionally damages, falsifies the scene, or destroys evidence, they shall bear full responsibility.
