<p>Going to the police is the right thing to do. Hard and scary, sure, but it’s the right thing to do. I have a lot of respect for you.</p>
<p>I wouldn’t expect too much in the way of dire consequences: leaving the scene of an accident where there’s only property damage and then turning yourself in is not that bad. We’ve had signs up in my neighborhood recently because a driver ran a red light, hit an elderly woman in a crosswalk, hurt her badly, and fled, and her family wants witnesses to come forward (there are certainly witnesses: this is a busy area and it was mid-afternoon) and help them find the driver. You did the wrong thing and you are right to try to make it right now, but overall it was a relatively minor wrong thing.</p>
