Is it still considered hit-and-run if someone scratched another car a month ago?

[VanEmma]

If a party involved in a traffic accident knowingly drives away or abandons the vehicle at the scene of the accident, it constitutes hit-and-run, regardless of how much time has passed. Introduction to hit-and-run: It refers to the act of fleeing the scene after a traffic accident to evade legal consequences. According to the Criminal Law, hit-and-run or other particularly egregious circumstances in a traffic accident are punishable by 3 to 7 years of imprisonment. Consequences for the perpetrator: Fleeing the scene of a traffic accident is an extremely severe and egregious violation of the law, and the perpetrator will face serious adverse consequences as a result.
