Q: My daughter had an accident with my car for left turn w/ accident. She planned to plead guilty to this as she did it.
There was a second citation for operating a vehicle without required financial responsibility. She got the papers out of the glove compartment and asked the officer what he needed. She stated he took one paper and returned it. He said noting regarding the insurance card. (Which was in the glove compartment with the registration)
She is listed as the owner on the citations. The car is registered to my husband and I and is insured.
I left a message with the officer in an attempt to rectify the misinformation with no return call.
What is our best course of action?
A:
try the officer (politely -- he may not have returned the call because he was very busy) if that doesn't work plead not guilty.
As to the car crash, I hope she's OK but if she needs to see a doctor the medical under the car insurance will cover her. As she is at fault making a medical claim won't change any future outcome as far as rates go.
