In Missouri that would be a felony leaving the scene of an accident.

Drives into the back of a parked pickup truck...flees the scene...runs into his/her own garage door.

I'm thinking DUI.

If its the same AllState adjuster I had, $500.

Hard to make a real estimate when you're putting body shop labor at $35/hour...I'm not kidding.

Agreed, but can't prove it.

When Chip and Jon arrived late to the scene the individual had probably sobered up.

good detective work!

I don't think even the most skilled stunt driver could have drifted around that corner and nailed that garage door quite a square on as this person has!!

Stick onto the constabulary like a left nut.

That's an immediate arrest not an investigation.
Whether he ran over a kid during his flight, or not, has nothing to do with his culpability.

Update from the Police this morning: driver was a 16 yr old male with a graduated licence (that means his licence is gone now) driving his mom's 2006 Ford Escape. They did a field sobriety test and he passed (0 readings). He admitted to hitting me and hitting the garage (two points on his licence for each accident) and has two charges of failure to exchange particulars (8 points for each charge on his licence).

So he now will have 20 points on his licence which means the surcharge will be $2500. The surcharge is reduced by half each year your accident free. So it will take him 6 years to clear it off his licence and cost a total of $4900. If you don't pay it, the points don't go down. This is on top of what the judge will charge him ($250 per incident?) . He also has to pay the deductible on his moms vehicle.

Up here it's called "Failure to exchange information"

Falls under this part of the Highway Traffic Act:



155(3) The information required to be given under subsection (2) is

(a) the name and address of the driver giving the report;

(b) a statement as to whether the driver has a valid driver's licence or out-of-province driving permit and if so, the number of the licence or permit and the date of its expected expiration;

(c) a statement as to whether the vehicle being driven by the driver is validly registered, if the vehicle is required to be registered, and if so, the vehicle's registration number and date of the registration's expiration;

(d) the number of the driver's motor vehicle liability insurance policy and name of the insurer, if applicable; and

(e) if driver is not the vehicle's owner,

(i) the name and address of the owner and registered owner, if they are different, and

(ii) the number of the owner's or registered owner's motor vehicle liability insurance policy and name of the insurer, if applicable and if that information is known to the driver.


Took the truck to my body shop and the owner figures the side of the truck box will need to be replaced (It's wrinkled) and earliest they can start on it is Aug 25th.

I don't understand the 'surcharge' part of all this.
Could you explain please?

If this was my kid he wouldn't be driving again until he could buy his own car and insurance and room and board.

And get hisself a new a$$ 'cause the one god gave him is gone after I get home.

I do love irony: He was driving a Ford "Escape".

Oh: $3250.00 CDN on the repair.

I think the "surcharge" is a fine spread out over time.

So whether he has a license or not he still pays it.

I'm thinking high end and my number is $265,000.
