It is perfectly possible to be involved in an accident without making contact with another vehicle, and therefore to leave the scene without stopping or exchanging details..

An accident covered by the Road Traffic Act is one where damage and/or injury "owing to the presence of a mechanically propelled vehicle". The driver of that vehicle is obliged to stop.

Is it possible for another driver to be "involved" without either making contact or causing the accident?

Yes, it is possible.

But Car_54 asked if another driver could be involved without causing the accident. By slamming on their brakes  unnecessarily, the lead vehicle in a crash for cash accident would be responsible for causing the accident.

...or let's say that somebody slams the anchors on and dives from L3 of a motorway to the junction sliproad at the last second, causing an articulated wagon pulling a fuel delivery trailer to jack-knife and roll while trying successfully to avoid them. A coach full of nuns on the way to a kitten show hits the tanker, igniting it.

How is the Audi driver not responsible for that?

Because it's Audi's fault for not fitting indicators?
