Car permit · Crashes and insurance
Your car strikes an unattended parked vehicle, causing light damage, and you are unable to track down its owner. What does the law require?
Correct answer: Fasten a note to the vehicle listing your name, phone number, and address.
Answer options
- ADrive away, since the damage is only light
- BNotify the Idaho State Police of any crash, even a minor one
- CFasten a note to the vehicle listing your name, phone number, and address Correct
Why
When you damage an unattended vehicle and cannot find its owner, you must leave a note on it with your name and contact details; driving away without doing so is against the law. The police have to be notified only if the damage is more than $1,500 or someone is injured.
