While parking in Zwolle you hit a parked car. There is a big dent in the door, nobody is hurt and the owner is nowhere to be seen. What do you do?
- I drive on, because there is no driver to give my details to
- I drive on, because there is only sheet-metal damage and no one is injured
- ✓ I leave my details at the car and inform the police
