N2  - In 1997 a total of 883 (20.6%) drivers illegally left the scene of an accident in the area of the city of Ulm and its rural surroundings. 35% of these cases could be solved. Clear differences became apparent between 242 car drivers who committed a hit-and-run-offence and whose records were inspected and a group of 1400 car drivers who were convicted of a drunk driving-offence a few years before. In contrast to the drunk driving-offences the hit-and-run-offences occurred predominantly during the day as well as on weekdays. In addition, mainly elderly drivers committed these offences. According to the results of this study, hit-and-run-offences can no longer be characterized as a typical drunk driving offence. However, hit-and-run-offences that occurred during the night showed more similarities with drunk driving-offences.<p />
