Fender bender vs Hit and run

[Lonyo]

A fender bender is a small tap where two cars hit, and bend a fender.
A hit and run (ala GTA) is where a person is hit (and often killed) by a car.

I just hate the term hit and run being used when people mean fender bender (mainly because a relative was killed by a hit and run driver).
Maybe it's because I'm British.

Hit and run is no longer used. It has been replaced with Leaving the Scene of an Accident.

Technical court terms and charges refer to a Hit and Run as Leaving the Scene.

It doesnt only refer to hitting a person... any incident where the guilty party leaves the scene can be called a hit and run!

Hit and Run (at least around my way) refers to a car hitting something and then running away. It doesn't have anything to do with what/who was hit or the extent of damage, just that the guilty party fled the scene.
