When should a driver leave their contact information on a damaged vehicle?

A driver should leave their contact information on a damaged vehicle if the vehicle is unattended. This is important because it allows the owner of the unattended vehicle to know who was involved and how to get in touch with the driver. Leaving contact information is a responsible action that helps facilitate communication and resolution of any issues related to the damage.

In situations where a vehicle is unattended, the owner may return to find their property damaged and might not have any information on what occurred or who was responsible. By leaving contact details, the driver demonstrates accountability and helps to maintain good relations amongst vehicle owners.

In contrast, leaving information during business hours or solely during accidents with injuries does not encompass the broader responsibility drivers have towards unattended vehicles, and intoxication generally indicates a situation that should be handled by authorities rather than relying on leaving contact information.
