Best Answer

If you witnessed the hit and run, call 911 and give them all the information you can. If you observed the effects of a hit and run, but have no information about who did it, call the police and advise them a crime was committed. If it was your property that was hit, ask them to send an officer out and file a police report. Be prepared to estimate damage amount.

You hit a car in parking lot and there was no damage except for some paint scratches do you need to file a police report and report it also you place a note on the windshield is this a hit and run?

In Florida you need to give the other vehicle owner your info. If they are not in the car you need to put a note on their car with your info. Calling the police is best as you can get a police report to prove it. As long as you get your info to the other person or the police, it is NOT a Hit and Run. If you flee the scene without giving your info to the police or the other car owner, it IS a Hit and Run.
