Question: If I accidentally hit someone else's car and no one saw it, can I just walk away?
Answer: Tip: The following is not legal advice, and I am not a lawyer. It is for reference only. If a traffic accident occurs, whether there are witnesses or not, most legal systems have legal provisions requiring you to stop, call the police, and follow relevant legal procedures. That is, in most cases, even if no one saw the accident, you are obliged to stop at the scene and wait for the traffic police to arrive, report the accident, and exchange necessary information with the other party (such as name, contact information, insurance information, etc.). Leaving the scene of an accident without permission is usually considered a hit-and-run, which is illegal in many areas and may face serious legal consequences, including but not limited to fines, revocation of driver's license, criminal penalties, etc. Specifically: 1. After the accident, you have a legal obligation to protect the scene, call the police, record the accident information (take photos, retain evidence), and notify the insurance company. 2. Even if you leave the scene of the accident without being witnessed by others at the time, it may still be discovered through surveillance, traces, or subsequent investigations, and many areas will pursue legal liability for hit-and-run. 3. If you have any questions or confusion, it is recommended to contact the local traffic management department or consult a professional lawyer as soon as possible to obtain legal help for your jurisdiction. Therefore, from a legal and moral perspective, leaving the scene of an accident is obviously not a legal and responsible behavior. In order to ensure your own rights and legal interests, it is recommended to properly handle the accident in accordance with the law.
