If you didn't hit the school bus, which have very long mirrors, then he was just too close to center. I've driven big trucks and never bumped mirrors with other big vehicles on the same kind of 1.5 lane country roads. But I've noticed that a lot of guys don't have a very good handle on where the opposite side of their vehicle really is. Especially SUV drivers. Instead of getting over to the side like they should, sometimes they're 2' or more from their edge. On full sized trucks and other wide vehicles, that's not a good thing. It's as if they don't know where their passenger side wheels are riding.

In most states, that's called "leaving the scene of an accident" and can come with severe fines and even jail time. I wouldn't advise leaving the scene.

That happens in a lot of cities. The whole front corner of my wife's parked vehicle was ripped off years ago and the driver left the scene. Insurance handled it under their "uninsured motorist" category, but the cops kept paint samples just in case. If they'd have caught the person, there was a good chance of jail time.
