Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

The term “Hit and Run” describes accidents where the driver responsible for the accident flees the scene without providing assistance or revealing identity.
This is a common issue in motor accident claims.
Under the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, special provisions exist to provide compensation to victims of hit-and-run motor accidents.
This ensures that victims receive some financial support even when the offending vehicle or driver is untraceable.
Therefore, the term “Hit and Run” is specifically defined in the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988.
