"I'm late picking my daughter up" Well you hit me, gonna have to wait for the police to show up. And no, I wasn't a dick about it. And I've got his plate #, and since he pulled over in front of me , I most likely captured his miscreant visage & vehicle on my dash cam. If I'm sore tomorrow, going to the doc.

I'm not saying you're not rightfully upset. Without knowing all the details, I might have given you my DL, insurance and contact info and then may have prioritized my daughter as well (for example, if she was 6 years old, waiting alone in the evening at elementary school in a not so great area). But if he didn't even provide at least some minimal due diligence, isn't that basically a hit-n-run? "Wrong does not cease to be wrong because the majority share in it."

Maybe it depends on state, but I'm pretty sure if one of the parties in accident requests that the cops come out and fill out police report both parties have to wait on police regardless if they exchanged information. Now if both parties agree to swap info and go on their way then I don't believe it's a big deal... But I'm not an attorney so I could be completely mistaken I'm sure there's a lawyer... or even a police officer in the forum that can correct me if I'm wrong. | |||

Did you get contact & insurance info? -------- After the game, the King and the pawn go into the same box. | |||

Just happened to me. The other guy claimed I cut him and he rear ended me, he was calling the cops. We wait and all they do is make you exchange information. No reports are done. We wasted 20 minutes because the guy was a moron. His insurance paid the claim, no fuss, no muss. ________________________ "Don't mistake activity for achievement."

NJ only requires that the mva over $500 be reported to the DMV. If a police report is taken, this is not required.

State dependent. Here one only needs to hang around if there are injuries. As long as you leave your identifying information and insurance info you are free to leave even if the other party wants the police. ———————————————— The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad.

Happened in Oldham County KY. Cop was very professional. He said if the guy doesn't report it, it's considered hit & run. Dashcam overwrote the video, but my ins co searched the plate number, truck belongs to a business. They left messages on 2 numbers attached to the plate. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Yidn, shreibt un fershreibt" "The Nazis entered this war under the rather childish delusion that they were going to bomb everyone else, and nobody was going to bomb them.

| In the yahd, not too fah from the cah  |
Yup, a rear end is a rear end. The only thing that might change that is if he had you on video cutting him off then slamming the brakes or something along those lines. | |||

For real? |
How big is the memory card in your dash cam? Or how much driving do you do? With my daily routine, I get about three days on a 32gb card. I know my cheap dashcam has a way to lock a file but if anything happens, but I just pull the card. I keep spare memory cards in the car. I recorded a crash while in Toronto last fall and just copied the files to a smaller microSD card and gave it to the OPP officer. Not minority enough! | |||

Police called me back, if the owner of the truck doesn't respond, hit & run charges will be filed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Yidn, shreibt un fershreibt" "The Nazis entered this war under the rather childish delusion that they were going to bomb everyone else, and nobody was going to bomb them.

I hope you have good uninsured/under-insured coverage. | |||

Is there any such thing as an accident with less than $500 damage? הרחפת שלי מלאה בצלופחים | |||

Sucks about the dash cam. What is point of even having one if you can't rely on it in a situation like this? | |||
|
| Nature is full of magnificent creatures |
Not many at all in NJ at least. Unless it were tiny damage to just a bumper cover or just a headlight, but even then, not likely at all. | |||
