To avoid a hit and run:

1. You should always stop and exchange all pertinent information.

2. If no one is present, leave a note with all the pertinent information.

The consequences can have a devastating effect on your driving record, as a conviction of hit and run constitute 2 points.

If you are charged with hit and run, there are ways in which you can avoid a conviction. First, a civil compromise under Penal Code 1377, 1378 can be made with the other driver. This is a way where the other driver can agree not to prosecute in exchange for full restitution, and get your case dismissed.
