Question 1496 in the bank

How should a driver conduct himself after hitting a parked vehicle in the absence of its owners?

  1. Correct answer: Leave a note on the vehicle he hit with his personal details, the details of his vehicle and his insurance policy, and report to the police within 24 hours.
  2. Wait until a representative of his insurance company arrives and report to the police within 48 hours.
  3. Inform about the accident to the police station within 7 days.
  4. Wait at the place until the owner of the vehicle arrives.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: Leave a note on the vehicle he hit with his personal details, the details of his vehicle and his insurance policy, and report to the police within 24 hours.

A driver who damages a parked vehicle while the owner is away must make it possible for the owner to identify him and claim compensation. So he leaves a written note on the vehicle with his personal details, vehicle details and insurance policy details, and reports to the police within 24 hours. Waiting for the owner or an insurance representative is not required, and seven days is too late.
