Legal Question in Traffic Law in Maryland

Hit and Run

I had hit a an attended car and I moved away from the place of accident after staying there for some time . I failed to inform the cops. I got a ticket for failing to inform the cops or the owner about hitting the other car. The damage to the other car was really minor. I need to know if the charge and the ticket can be waived if the car owner whose car I hit drops the charges against me.

Not necessarily. Everyone will have to go to court and it will be up to the State's Attorney whether the case will be prosecuted. This charge has a potential jail penalty and a lot of points on your drivers' license, so definitely get a lawyer!
