The answer

If the driver's vehicle scrapes another car and causes damage to it, he is obligated to repair the damage or pay compensation for it, even if the damage is minor. It was his duty to leave a means of contact for the car's owner. If he is unable to reach the car's owner, he may give charity on his behalf with an amount he believes will absolve his responsibility.
