If you have caused injury to another person, or damage to another person's property, you are required under Section 170 of the Road Traffic Act 1998 to stop and give your details to the injured party. The only exception to this rule is if there was a reasonable reason as to why you did not stop. For example: if the other person was being threatening or abusive and your feared for your well being, you can drive on (in this case, you should contact the police as soon as possible).
The offence of leaving the scene of an accident carries fine of up to £5000, 5-10 penalty points and possible disqualification. You would also receive a conviction that will go on your criminal record.
You are also required under the same section to report the incident to your local police within 24 hours. There are no exceptions to this rule. To report an incident, you can contact the police on their non-emergency number.
The offence of failing to report an accident carries the same penalties as 'leaving the scene'.
Your insurance company will require you to report details of any incident to them, not doing so would be considered a fraud offence.
If you can not see any damage or injury, you do not have exchange details or report it. However, it would be wise to get photographic or video evidence of the lack of damage in case the injured party makes a claim further down the line.

In most cases, they won't even know, let alone care, that the space is reserved for you. They will simply find the and remove it. Consult your bankruptcy attorney/solicitor or (in the UK) the Citizens' Advice Bureau for further advice. In the UK, at least, it is possible to be guilty of theft if you attempt to hide a car that belongs to someone else.
Not if you own the driveway. Your property, your land. IN UK you must tell DVLA that the vehicle is off the road by submitting a SORN

In the UK the highway code says that the driver of a car must always drive at a speed where he/she can stop the car to avoid hitting something that appears in the road ahead. Thus car B was moving too fast and is at fault.Added; In the US the law states the same as above. The driver must always have their vehicle under control at all times.
Car insurance in the UK can potentially cost more than in the US, but it could also be the other way around. Both of these countries are divided into smaller states that each have their own insurance laws and pricing.
