How should a vehicle driver conduct himself after hitting another vehicle or property in the absence of its owner?
- Report about the incident to the nearest police station and wait for the arrival of a police investigator.
- Correct answer: Leave his identifying details in a clearly visible place and report to the nearest police station within 24 hours.
- Leave the place quickly and report about the incident’s details at a later stage.
- Leave his vehicle at the site of the accident without moving it and wait for the arrival of a police examiner.
Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: Leave his identifying details in a clearly visible place and report to the nearest police station within 24 hours.
When the owner of the damaged vehicle or property is not there, the details cannot be handed over in person. The driver must therefore leave identifying details in a clearly visible place, such as under the windscreen wiper, and report to the nearest police station within 24 hours. Driving off without leaving details is forbidden, and there is no need to wait for police when nobody is injured.
