If you hit a mailbox with mud from your vehicle, you may potentially face consequences such as a fine for damage to the property or charges for vandalism if the mailbox is damaged. It's best to try to avoid causing damage to other people's property when driving.
hit the mailbox
If the mailbox is mounted on the house he must have a clear path to the mailbox. If you are mounting your mailbox on a rural road, mount it so the bottom of the mailbox is 47 inches from the surface of the road. Mount the mailbox far enough off the side of the road where it won't get hit. 12" is a good figure to use. Remember that school buses and trucks have mirrors that stick out on the right side that could hit your mailbox. If your mailbox is on a street with a curb, mount the mailbox so the bottom of the mailbox is 47" from the street. Mount the front of the mailbox 9" from the curb.
Yes. It is only not hit and run if you report it immediately.
Makes no difference what you hit. If you leave it is hit and run, or (in some states) 'leaving after colliding.' The fact that only non-moveable property was damaged is immaterial. If the mailbox wasn't just a private mailbox for the apartment, but happened to be an 'official' US Postal Service mailbox, you could, theoretically, be charged with destruction of government property.
