Yes, you ca because first of all, the car owner can press charges. Second of all, it is considered a hit-and-run and you may end up in jail, have community service, or get a very expencive fine.

Are you responsible if you hit a car that is double-parked?
It all depends. Both you and the car that is double parked are responsible. when you do hit a car that is double parked, and the person is not at his/her car, make sure you leave a note saying that you hit his/her car. why leave a note? ITS AGAINST THE LAW TO LEAVE A CRIME SCENE!!!!!!!!!!!

If you hit a parked car what should you do?
If you so happen to hit a parked car you should not leave. You should remain present until the owner of the car shows up. You should then explain to him what happened and cover all of the costs of damage. If you leave the scene im sure you will feel guilty and the person whose car you hit would be left very upset. Anyway hoped this helped. Have a great day!
