you can't do anything. He has two (2) problems: first, no insurance, and second, leaving the scene of an accident. Get a criminal lawyer and get your idiot kid off the road before he does some serious damage.

You should call a good attorney and contact the police so he can turn himself in. Also, he may be covered under your auto insurance policy if he was driving your car with your permission.

Fleeing the scene of an accident is a crime. Your son should consult a criminal defense attorney to discuss his options. It is usually recommended that the person who fled call the police department and turn himself in for the crime committed. However, we do not typically handle criminal matters.

Call the owner of the other vehicle and pay his damages.

Leaving the scene of an accident can result in criminal proceedings against your son. He should own up to the accident. Get insurance if he is to continue to drive.

You can wait to see if the police can identify him and charge him with leaving the scene of an accident. He can turn himself in and hope they do not charge him because he turned himself in. If you do that, even if he is charged, pre-trial intervention which results in no record is a likely outcome. You can consult an attorney to see if the attorney has any other suggesting that I haven't thought of.

Have him report to a police station and turn himself in.

The best thing to do would be to engage in attorney to attempt to minimize the damages for what was a very foolish action.

Was there an injury? If so, call other driver involved and go to police station to make report.
