	Legal consequences of a hit and run may include the suspension or cancellation of one's [[driver's license]]; lifetime revocation of a driver's license is possible in certain jurisdictions. It is frequently considered a criminal offense, which can be punished by fines and [[imprisonment]]. Insurance companies often raise the insurance costs or even void the policies of drivers involved in this offense.
