You bump into a parked car with nobody in it, causing minor damage, and you cannot locate its owner. What are you required to do?
Correct answer: Attach a note to the car giving your name and address.
Answer options
- ADrive away, because no one saw the crash
- BAttach a note to the car giving your name and address Correct
- CStay at the scene however long it takes for the owner to return
Why
Under Minnesota law, a written note left in plain view on the damaged vehicle with your name and address fulfills your duty when the owner cannot be found; notifying the owner or reporting the crash to police are the other options. Driving away without doing any of these is illegal even if no one saw the crash, and you do not have to wait indefinitely.
