ADAC warns: Note on car does not protect against hit-and-run - Hesse cracks down on hit-and-run drivers—no excuses for rushing away

Even in a rush, drivers must follow the rules after a hit-and-run accident in Hesse. Authorities have clarified that leaving the scene without proper notification is never justified, even if the driver is in a hurry. In nighttime residential areas, the police must be called immediately. In busier locations, such as supermarket car parks or multi-storey garages, drivers are expected to wait longer for the other party or authorities to arrive. Drivers involved in an accident in Hesse must follow clear procedures to avoid legal penalties. Waiting times and notification steps differ based on where and when the incident happens. Ignoring these rules, regardless of urgency, can result in charges for leaving the scene of an accident.
