Car permit · Crashes and insurance
In Michigan, you bump into a parked car with nobody inside and are unable to track down whoever owns it. What does the law require you to do?
Correct answer: Notify the police about the crash.
Answer options
- ANotify the police about the crash Correct
- BLeave a note with your name and contact details, and do nothing more
- CStay at the scene until the owner or someone else shows up
Why
Michigan law requires a driver who hits an unattended vehicle to stop and try to find the owner, and if that fails, to report the crash promptly to the nearest police officer or agency. A note on its own does not satisfy that duty, and you do not have to wait indefinitely for the owner.
