In the car park of a Kwantum store in Venlo you tap the bumper of a parked car. There is only sheet-metal damage, no injuries, and the owner is not present. What do you do?
- I just drive off, no one is injured
- ✓ I leave my contact details at the car and inform the police
- I wait in the car park for the police to arrive, even though no one is injured
Correct answer: I leave my contact details at the car and inform the police
Explanation
False — With sheet-metal damage only, the police often do not come; the book asks for a photo and driving to a car park together with the other party, not waiting on the spot for the police
Why learners get this wrong
- The prohibition applies to death, injury OR damage; sheet-metal damage without injuries still obliges a procedure, not driving off
- With sheet-metal damage only, the police often do not come; the book asks for a photo and driving to a car park together with the other party, not waiting on the spot for the police
