If you hit a car and do not leave a note with your insurance information it is hit and run. It is better to find the owner or call the police to make a report, but many people are dishonest and selfish and will just drive away because they do not want to pay for their mistakes. They have no respect for their reputation or other people's property and only care about getting caught. if they think that no one saw them damage the other car they will just drive off. if they get caught they will have to go to court on a misdemeanor charge and may get criminal record which may make it hard to get a decent job for the rest of their lives, so it may not be worth the risk. if you leave the scene of a personal injury accident it is a felony and you can get a year in jail, especially if you endangered the other driver's life or if they were seriously injured. That is considered a very serious crime, especially if the person is intoxicated. Life is about making good decisions, earning a good reputation, getting a good education, and helping others. Some people only worry about themselves and make selfish decisions, bad decisions, and immoral decisions that will eventually catch up to them. The best policy is to always act as if everything you do will be on the front page of the paper and everyone will know what you are doing. That will prevent you from trying to get away with things that are illegal, immoral, or selfish. I am am sure that you are a good person, just try to treat people like you want to be treated and do the right thing and you will be an even better person.
