FlagI was in an accident recently. I was stopped at a stop sign waiting to turn left, a car was coming with its blinker on indicating they were turning right. I pulled out and they did not turn and hit my car. We both got out of our cars and were fine and our cars were drive-able. I asked if he could meet me in a parking lot right by the accident so we could get our cars out from the middle of the street, he agreed. I moved my car and he did not follow so I parked it and went to ask if he was coming and he said he had called the cops. I ended up getting charged with leaving the scene of an accident and failure to report an accident, even though I was standing next to him when he was on the phone with the cops, and had told me he would meet me in order to avoid blocking traffic.
