Call a family member. Get the car home; or at least get an adult involved.
Fast. Before something worse happens

No, you probably won't go to jail. Tell your dad, it's the only way you can get out of this situation. At least if you tell him, he'll know that you fessed up to your mistake and that you have a conscience about it. Mind you, you may not be able to drive his cars for a while, but it's your mistake and you have to live up to it. If you have a job, maybe you could offer to pay for some of the damages to make it up to him?

you do not desire to pay attention it now yet you have an magnificent tale to tell. useful, you likely might have stopped your self from punching him and violence won't be the respond in spite of the undeniable fact that that's in comparison to he did not have it coming. as far because of the fact the forgiveness element, that too will all come back. you're nevertheless interior the warmth of the 2d. actually think of approximately it as in case you're analyzing somebody else style that tale and you will see a minimum of a few comedy there. i think of your anger replaced right into a tremendously typical reaction and that i additionally think of it is going to bypass. it somewhat is nevertheless your brother and you will continually remind him with reference to the way you knocked him out in a well-being facility emergency room. nicely performed, Sir

You wont go to jail but you need to tell your Dad. His car insurance will cover the damages (less a deductible) or he may insist that you work part time and pay for it yourself. We all make misakes and I hope you learned from this one. He may be angry and for sure you will get some type of punishment but at least you werent hurt and didnt destroy anyone elses property.

Sooo you just left the car there with some dents and tail light damage? What are you thinking? Go get the effin' car.and bring it home before it gets towed and you get even more tickets from the police.
Sheesh!

Similar thing happened to me. I called Dad and said that I was in a wreck and I think that I'm going to be alright.. Pause long enough for him to put things in prospective, (like what if you were hurt) Then say no it's just the back lights and no one else was involved.. worked for me..p.s. get the car back home..The less he has to do to get back to normal the better.. Do you think that your Dad never make an error in judgment in his youth?

Youve done the right thing by leaving the car there, if you had driven it home you could have caused a lot of bad accidents. Just about everyone has a little prang with their early driving.
Face your Dad with the truth and it will work out.
It could have been far worse and i bet from now on you will reverse with great care.
Its called experience sweety ; as long as you learn from it be thankful because if you learn from it as I think you will, your driving skills will become extremely good. In this light it could be seen as good fortune.

Pray. Then tell your dad the truth and apologize up one side and down the other. Take your punishment like a grown up and do the time.

Well.....You can pretty much bet that you will be grounded. I think you will fair much better off if you fess up rather than take the cowards way out and lie. If I were your father, I would be much harder on you if I found you were spineless about it.

I think you will get in real big trouble, but I dont think you will go to jail, I would just be up front and honest with him
