Car permit · Crashes and insurance

While driving in North Dakota, you lightly hit an unattended parked car, and its owner is nowhere to be found. What does the law require of you?

Correct answer: Leave a note in a visible place with your name, address, insurance company, and what happened.

Answer options

  1. ANotify the North Dakota Highway Patrol about the crash
  2. BDrive on, since the damage is minor
  3. CLeave a note in a visible place with your name, address, insurance company, and what happened Correct

Why

If you cannot find the owner of an unattended car you hit, North Dakota law is met by leaving a written note in a visible place on that car with your name, address, insurance company, and a statement of what happened. Notice to the police, sheriff, or Highway Patrol is required only when someone is hurt or killed or the damage reaches $4,000, and leaving without giving your information is a crime.
