The table and what comes after · 2026-07

Someone is hurt or dead and the driver leaves. That's what starts to look like hit-and-run. Walking off a scrape is a different article.

After the interpretation, the Criminal Code piece is not 'any bump means you stay until they're happy'. The breath test, and staying, are still two different things.

After Judicial Yuan Interpretation No. 777, the criminal talk sits on this: the crash killed or injured someone, and the driver left. Only damage to a car, nobody hurt, is more often a fine under the traffic act for not dealing with the scene as required. Not the same criminal penalty. If the text has moved since, the national law database is what counts.

Staying means you stay to deal with it, call the police, help. It does not mean arguing until morning. Whether someone fled looks at whether they made it impossible, or hard, for the other person to know who they were. I'm not coaching a sentence so it gets treated as not leaving. If someone is hurt, the ambulance matters more than moving the car.

What you can do first

  1. 01Someone hurt: call the police and 119. Don't leave first.
  2. 02You only scraped a car: still leave your name, plate, and phone, and see if that place wants a report.
  3. 03The breath test is its own procedure. I don't give you lines for it.

Rewritten in my own words. Not a judgment and not a law firm's article. If a number shows up, it belonged to that public discussion, not to you. Check the Judicial Yuan judgment system. These started as public discussions of car crashes. I rewrote them here. Not a law firm's article.

I'm not a lawyer, and I'm not a mediator. I can't decide this for you. The statute that counts is the one still in force. Judgments live on the Judicial Yuan site.
