We have a retail outlet with car parking A car was driven into the car park went through the markcation barrier and hit the car opposite. The driver of the moving car reported it to our staff and then disappeared The driver of the stationary car appeared some time later The Police were called and are treating it as a hit and run Do I report this as a dangerous occurance under RIDDOR?

As a retail outlet I am going to speculate the roadways / car-park are covered by provisions of the Road Traffic Act, and as you have eluded the Police have become involved in a "hit & run" offence. Not RIDDOR but keep records including staff statements in case the victims insurer gets in touch.

Hi Nick
I agree with Roundtuit's assumption that the Road Traffic Act probably applies and what that means in terms of the scope of what may or may not be RIDDOR reportable/recordable. However, even if RTA didn't apply I can't see how this incident would be RIDDOR reportable in the absence of any apparent injury. RIDDOR includes provision for some types of train and trolley bus collisions to count as Dangerous Occurrences, but not for typical road vehicles.

That something dangerous has occurred does not make that thing a Dangerous Occurrence under RIDDOR. For that, it has to meet one of the specific criteria in RIDDOR.
