Hit and run and its consequences
Leaving the scene of an accident without considering the consequences is not only morally questionable, but also has legal consequences. According to Section 142 of the Criminal Code (StGB), this is a hit-and-run. This occurs when a road user leaves the scene of the accident after an accident without identifying their personal details and the circumstances of the accident.
