It is not uncommon for the perpetrator of an accident to leave the scene of the accident in a state of shock. In his opinion, he did not disappear, since his car remained, according to which it would not be difficult for the traffic police to calculate the owner.
However, the court made clarifications: the driver is obliged to personally remain at the scene of the accident. The law clearly prescribes the procedure when dealing with an accident. The driver must wait for the arrival of the traffic police, draw up a protocol and comply with other legal requirements. If this is neglected, the punishment can be the most severe, up to deprivation of rights.

Without calling the traffic police, participants in an accident can disperse if they have established a European protocol.
At the same time, not every accident is considered an accident. For example, if only the car is damaged (it flew off the road, crashed into a hatch, etc.), then it is more of a personal emergency. Even crashing into a utility pole is not considered an accident if the pole is not damaged.
But if the driver hit the dog, you should stop and call the traffic police. The algorithm of actions here is exactly the same as in a normal accident.
