Car permit · Crashes and insurance
In Oregon, you scrape a parked car, causing minor damage, and its owner is nowhere to be found. What are you required to do?
Correct answer: Put a note on the car giving your name, address, and phone number.
Answer options
- AStay with the car until its owner returns, however long that takes
- BPut a note on the car giving your name, address, and phone number Correct
- CTake photos of the damage and drive on without leaving a note
Why
If you hit an unattended vehicle and cannot locate its owner, Oregon law requires you to stop and leave a written notice in plain view on that vehicle with your contact information. Driving away without leaving that information is against the law, even if you photographed the damage.
