Hit and run ? now what?

So I live in WA

and I was driving from the store to home at like 8pm and it was really dark but I did have my glasses on



and I was turning left and there was 2 left turn lanes and I was in the far left lane and when i started turning there was no one behind me or in the lane next to me and I turned left to the far left lane and I had to hurry and get over one lane to the right to make it to the gas station so I looked in the rear view mirror and started going and then all of a sudden there was a car black car there and I tapped it. I dont understand where it came from! I looked back and it was clear and when I first started the turn there was no one next to me

He had to have been speeding to make the light because when i 'hit' him he was further ahead of me



So anyways after it happened I didnt know what to do and I like casually drove off and he followed me like forever and I was too scared to pull over. He was following me and then he started to slow down so then I hurried and made it home without him seeing where I lived (we were right around the corner to my house)

and I parked in not my right parking spot

so like a hour later I went outside to move it and all of sudden the police were there and they were starting to tow my car so my mom went out there and was like my daughter was driving this car....



and they gave me ticket for $124 for ';unsafe lane change, not changing lane with 100 yards clear in front and back'';

and then another ticket thing for hit and run that doesnt have a cost

and I have to go to traffic court next month



Im almost 17 and have never had any traffic or law violations before

also my car doesnt even have a scratch just a small little dent and his car was a big like black SUV or something and im pretty sure it has like no damage and it was just a little tap



so whats going to happen at traffic court??

and how much will the hit and run violation be?

and what else will happen?Hit and run ? now what?

The traffic court and cost will be the least of your problem. Last year there was an famous actress who ended up in jail because she didn't stop after an accident. Go see a lawyer. Any more advice from here, and you are screwing yourself.



Good Luck...Hit and run ? now what?
OK read this first. go to traffic court and plead not guilty.then wait for the other diver to sue. if he doesn't you are home free, that means he does not want to go to court and can not be a witness in the traffic hearing as the police did not ';witness'; the moving violation they can not testify as to the facts. they will not show up to the hearing and if they do they will not have a answer to the question ';did I hit anything that night?';Do not speak of this or elaborate on it to anyone it did not happen as far as you know.

But remember carma is a angry spiteful b*ch.

and hope the victim doesn't read yahoo answers
Im guessin he's gonna try to nickel and dime you if there's damage on his car being that ';you' hit him even if you didn't. Your a kid and kids make mistakes more than adults. Your unexperienced and people will try to use that as there alibi. Im 19 and Ive seen a lot of stuff within the 2 years Ive been driving.



Plead not guilty and accept the damage. Pay it off and in time you'll get back what you lost.



Carry a pen and paper in your car too to get information. Drive the limit and have a hawk eye
