The day before yesterday, a man surnamed Qiu from Taichung City was driving an SUV to catch the high-speed train. He accidentally collided with a car in the parking lot while passing through the southern district. Worried about missing the train, he quickly left without stopping the car. The police found the offending vehicle based on the driving recorder and issued a hit-and-run ticket to Mr. Qiu. In addition to suspending his driver's license for one month, he also had to pay compensation for the damage to the car. The loss outweighed the gain.

The woman surnamed Yang parked her car in the parking lot on Jianguo North Road that day. At that time, she was still in the car and the vehicle was running. The left side of the car was suddenly hit by an SUV. The sudden impact shocked her. Unexpectedly, the other vehicle did not stop to check after the collision, but drove away from the scene.

When Ms. Yang got out of the car and took a look, she was even more stunned. The left rear view mirror of her car was severely damaged after being hit. The rear view mirror that was originally fixed on the door was completely knocked off. The mirror body hung crookedly next to the door. The outer shell and internal structure were obviously torn. The connecting base was also exposed, as if it had been forcibly "torn off". Only part of the structure was barely connected to the car body, which made her angry and helpless.

Police officer Huang Shihong of the Traffic Division of the Third Branch received the report and launched an investigation. He found that Ms. Yang had remembered the wrong car number in desperation. Fortunately, with the help of the driving recorder image, she quickly located the vehicle involved and contacted the 64-year-old driver surnamed Qiu. He admitted that he accidentally hit a roadside vehicle because he did not maintain a good distance between the cars. He chose to leave directly in order to catch the high-speed rail. He was not thoughtful enough to stay at the scene to deal with it, and also apologized for causing trouble to the car owner.

The police reported Qiu Nan's failure to deal with the matter in accordance with the regulations according to the law. According to Article 62 of the Road Traffic Management Punishment Regulations, if a car driver causes an accident and no one is injured or killed but fails to deal with it in accordance with the regulations, he will be fined not less than 1,000 yuan but not more than 3,000 yuan; if he escapes, his driver's license will be suspended from 1 month to 3 months. If a traffic accident occurs accidentally, the public must stay at the scene and call 110 to call the police.
