What should you do if your vehicle is unattended after a crash?

If your vehicle is unattended after a crash, leaving a note with your contact information is the appropriate action to take. This ensures that the other party involved in the accident can reach you. Providing your name, phone number, and a brief description of the situation is a responsible way to communicate and fulfill your legal obligations. It helps to mitigate potential complications, such as claims of leaving the scene improperly, which could lead to legal repercussions or fines.

Leaving contact information also shows consideration for others involved, helping to facilitate the claims process and ensure that any damages can be addressed swiftly. It’s important for road safety and accountability that you provide a way for the other party to get in touch with you, particularly in situations where your vehicle may be a hazard or if there is damage that needs to be discussed.
