If you kiss a cars bumper and leave a small scratch and drive off is it hit n run how much could i owe?

Answer 1

No

Additional: The description of "kissing" a bumper and leaving a "scratch" are pretty much in the eye of the beholder. The owner of the struck vehicle may have quite a different veiw of the extent of the damage.

In years past bumpers were made of steel and, in fact, meant for just that purpose - minor bumps. However on modern vehicles what we now call "bumpers" are really nothing more than plastic or fiberglass housings that cover the air-bag sensors. If one of these 'covers' is damaged it can cost upwards of hundreds to replace or repair. Your best policy woiuld be to exchange information with the other owner, or leave a note on the car telling them of the bump. Remember - even if the owner wasn't there at the time - you NEVER know who might have seen you do it!
