[Mr.SpeedFreak]

Wow... the carelessness and sheer stupidity of people these days never ceases to amaze me... I really hope they get caught (and whatever else they got coming to them)

Good luck with the insurance company and repairs!

Man that sucks...people pull that hit and run **** all the time....around here 9 times out of 10 they make a b line back to detroit. I hope it all works out.

If you live in the city of Toledo and you don't get satisfactory service from the police, call the chief's office and ask for a meeting. Be persistent and don't let them slide. They have to meet with you and answer your questions. If they won't talk to you call the mayor's office and your city councilman and raise hell with them. You are paying your hard earned money in taxes for their service so don't let them off the hook. Hopefully they can get this dirtbag off the road.

From Ohio DMV:
(B) Whoever violates division (A) of this section is guilty of failure to stop after a nonpublic road accident, a misdemeanor of the first degree. If the violation results in serious physical harm to a person, failure to stop after a nonpublic road accident is a felony of the fifth degree. If the violation results in the death of a person, failure to stop after a nonpublic road accident is a felony of the third degree. The court, in addition to any other penalties provided by law, shall impose upon the offender a class five suspension of the offender's driver's license, commercial driver's license, temporary instruction permit, probationary license, or nonresident operating privilege from the range specified in division (A)(5) of section 4510.02 of the Revised Code. No judge shall suspend the first six months of suspension of an offender's license, permit, or privilege required by this division.

So;
The Cops are correct BUT, it is a serious infraction.[/QUOTE]

Strange. What is this nonpublic road? Private property? Why would it matter if it was nonpublic if there were injuries. Apparently Ohio has some weird laws. Also strange; The guy left you his info (assuming the tag is not stolen). Was it registered to a blue/silver van. I hope you get some satisfaction on this matter.

Sorry to hear about your accident. Hopefully the other guy has insurance or maybe that's why he took off in the first place. Can't see where the cops say there's nothing they can do when the other vehicle's plate was left there. I would get a lawyer and go after him for everything he had. In iowa, if you leave the scene of an accident, whether it is your fault or not, you automatically get charged. I know you said it was the other person's fault, I was just sayin'. Please keep us informed when you get an update.

Damn, that sucks.

Sorry about your luck. Leaving the scene in NYS is only a violation. Bumps up to a misdemeanor if there is personal injury. If the offending vehicle lost a plate, that is like gold. As easy as running the plate and putting the info in the report. Then send a unit to the address of the registered owner to investigate. You file a claim with the vehicle owner. As long as they have insurance.....

 

[alleyoopmgv]

Sorry to see, glad there were no injury's. Send him to the clinck!

Man that sucks, now days you literally have to drive like everyone is out to kill you "idiots". Hope you get her all fixed up better than ever.

 

[Meep-Meep]

And to think that CA wants to give drivers licenses to "undocumented workers" to make roads safer. And I'm sure all of them will have insurance too. Man, this hit an run blows big time and I hope you get some satisfaction out of this mess.

Man that sucks! Here in CA many of the undocumented workers do not have insurance as Meeps sarcastically implies - matter of fact a few years back here in the SF bay area I was in a leased BMW being driven by a co-worker when we were hit from behind by a van driven by what we found out were undocumented "visitors". We persuaded the 3 van occupants to remain there till the cops showed up, but they tried to pay us off not once but 3 times, finally upping the ante to $1000. We declined. Then they called a friend who showed up in their car ten minutes later and they proceeded to unload tons of items from the van (drugs? Weapons? Not sure). When the cops finally arrived 1 hr later, they interviewed them, then came back to us and politely informed us to just walk away and call our own insurance. Why we asked. The ANSWER: BECAUSE.THEY.ARE.UNDOCUMENTED.WORKERS.WITH.NO.LICENSE.AND.NO.INSURANCE. WTF!!!!???
The cops said they have been instructed in these situations not to call immigration and not to enforce any of the normal laws that us citizens must abide by. They let them go and we had no recourse. I still shake my head in dismay and it royally pisses me off even though it wasn't my car!!!!

If there are no penalties, people like this will continue to abuse the system and laugh at us as they get away with it.

Sorry to derail your thread. I'm very sorry to hear about your accident.

 

[sublimegtx]

"So, Mr. Officer, if that's the case, can we just beat the pi$$ out of them, since these people don't exist & you can't enforce any of the normal laws ? "

What's with the "nonpublic road accident" condition? It sounds like these apply to accidents on private roads. What's the rule for accidents on public roads?

 

[Richard Cranium]

That's just awful. I feel for you.

 

[Basket case]

sucks big time. hope they catch the scum and you get the car redone even better than it was.
