Fail To Stop / Report
If you are involved in a road traffic collision, you must stop at the scene of the accident and exchange your personal details with the other party involved. This is a legal requirement.
Failure to do this, you will commit the offence of failing to stop or report an accident. An accident should be reported to the police within 24 hours so that it could be documented.
