liikennepako

1. (law) hit-and-run (crime of fleeing the scene of a traffic accident)

Unlike "hit-and-run", the Finnish term only refers to the flight from the scene, i.e. it is a separate crime from causing the accident. Also a nonguilty party can make himself culpable for it.

• onnettomuuspaikalta pakeneminen (common language term)
