Answer 1

Answer: Barbara should have left a note for the other driver and Barbara’s action is an example of a hit and run.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hit and run occurs when there's a traffic collision with another car or human being and the person who caused the collision doesn't stop and therefore doesn't provide necessary information details which are required by law to the other person affected.
