Duty of driver to stop, etc., in event of accident involving injury or death or damage to attended property; penalty. The driver of any vehicle involved in an accident in which a person is killed or injured or in which an attended vehicle or other attended property is damaged shall immediately stop as close to the scene of the accident as possible without obstructing traffic, as provided in 46.2-888, and report his name, address, driver's license number, and vehicle registration number forthwith to the State Police or local law-enforcement agency, to the person struck and injured if such person appears to be capable of understanding and retaining the information, or to the driver or some other occupant of the vehicle collided with or to the custodian of other damaged property. The driver shall also render reasonable assistance to any person injured in such accident, including taking such injured person to a physician, surgeon, or hospital if it is apparent that medical treatment is necessary or is requested by the injured person. Where, because of injuries sustained in the accident, the driver is prevented from complying with the foregoing provisions of this section, the driver shall, as soon as reasonably possible, make the required report to the State Police or local law-enforcement agency and make a reasonable effort to locate the person struck, or the driver or some other occupant of the vehicle collided with, or the custodian of the damaged property, and report to such person or persons his name, address, driver's license number, and vehicle registration number. Any person convicted of a violation of this section is guilty of (i) a Class 5 felony if the accident results in injury to or the death of any person, or if the accident results in more than $1000 of damage to property 。。。。 意思是說，出了事，你肇事司機要有擔當。你不能跑。你要把自己的姓名，住址， 車牌號，車輛登記號等信息通知警察以及事故的對方。 但是你肇事司機若逃離了現 場，那你就構成了hit-and-run。如果事故對對方造成的財產損失超過了1000美元， 那麼hit-and-run的肇事司機就犯了弗州的5級重罪。對於這個5級重罪，弗州規定的 懲罰如下： 18.2-10. Punishment for conviction of felony. (e) For Class 5 felonies, a term of imprisonment of not less than one year nor more than 10 years, or in the discretion of the jury or the court trying the case without a jury, confinement in jail for not more than 12 months and a fine of not more than $2,500, either or both. 意思是說，5級重罪要處1至10年有期徒刑，或者1年以內徒刑，或者2500美元以內的 罰款，或者1年以內徒刑並加2500美元以內的罰款。 所以，我覺得正是由於有這麼嚴格的規定，一般肇事司機才不敢貿然逃離現場的。 刮掉巴掌大的噴漆所造成的財產損失，很可能就過了1000美金的紅線了，所以不願 以身試法的人，是不會冒險逃離現場的。 肇事人員內心有本善最好，但那在實際生活當中沒有可操作性，不如嚴格的立法和 執法有保障。當然這個保障是對個人道德的最低要求。 至於目擊者在事件中所應該有的態度和作為，我認為這牽扯到目擊者對公民意識和 責任義務的理解，也就是說是一個公民覺悟的問題。這是在美國小學到中學的基礎 教育過程中一般應該已經完成了的教育任務。
