What would happen to the license of a drivers who involved in an accident and did not stop to help persons who were injured?

Answer 1

The driver's license would be suspended and possibly revoked entirely.

Another View: If they could be identified they would be charged - their license would be SUSPENDED until the court hearing. Depending on the outcome of the court hearing they could have their license either remain in suspension or revoked for a court ordered period of time.

Added; The charge is "Hit and Run" or "Leaving after Colliding" or similar wording. It is a serious charge and could result in your license being suspended.

Depends on each state. It could end up being suspended - however, that's a relatively minor issue compared to the criminal charges you would face for leaving the scene of an accident, as well as any other violations you might receive for the accident itself.

Most jurisdictions would suspend this persons license, some places forever.

Depends on the laws of the state where the accident/incident happened. He or she could have his license confiscated if proven guilty of "hit-and-run" and probably face additional criminal charges. When injuries are involved, things can get ugly for the person who flees the scene of an accident he or she was involved in. That's assuming the person is found to face charges. Fleeing the scene of an accident is a very bad thing to do. When in doubt, consult legal advice about the laws in the state where it happened.

Answer 2

Their license must be revoked.

Another View: If they could be identified they would be charged - their license would be SUSPENDED until the court hearing. Depending on the outcome of the court hearing they could have their license either remain in suspension or revoked for a court ordered period of time.

Answer 3

In addition to being charged with criminal Hit and Run (bodily injury involved makes it a crime) - they would undoubtedly have their driving privileges suspended or revoked for a certain length of time.

Answer 4

There would be a revocation of it, but that would be the least of their problems. The possible hit-and-run charge and definite leaving the scene of an accident charge would be the more pressing issues they would have to worry about, plus manslaughter charges if they were determined to be At Fault for the accident and one or more deaths resulted from it.

Answer 5

This would depend upon the laws in your State/Country. In the USA If your vehicle is directly involved in the accident and you dont stop your license could be either suspended for 1-5 years or revoked completely depending upon State laws concerning what is called "Hit and Run" or "fleeing the scene of an accident" which are criminal charges.

Also depending upon your State Your License can be suspended or revoked if the person dies as a result of the accident called Vehicular homicide, negligent homicide or manslaughter which falls under a charge of Murder (usually 3rd degree) Different States have different definitions concerning Degrees of murder.

If you are not directly involed in the accident (but witnessed it) and you leave you could be charged with whats called "leaving the scene of an accident" which is different than "Fleeing" as above,and your license could be suspended.

Answer 6

If it weren't ultimately suspended, it would receive several points. Of course, since that driver would be arrested and charged with hit-and-run, it would really be the least of their immediate problems.

Answer 7

That's a felony hit and run...depending on where you live, suspended license at least, but in California you'd get jail time for sure

Answer 8

Well at the very that would be considered a hit and run. If the injured person(s) died then it would be vehicular manslaughter.

Answer 9

Your license could be suspended or revoked even if people are not injured.
