fender bender turning into mess

About a week ago I had a minor fender bender in a privately owned parking lot with a coworker we were backing out at the same time and dinged each other. At first we both agreed not to report it since there wasn't much damage done and we didn't want our insurance rates to go up.

Now hes coming up to me telling me that I admitted fault and that hes going to his insurance company. hes brought me estimates ranging from 1500 bucks when at the time there was no real damage done. I did not admit fault, I apologized at the time but did not admit fault. Since we were both backing out I don't think anyone was at fault, and that it will just fizzle out to nothing.

Is there something I should be doing to protect myself here? I already have one witness who can say neither party was at fault, I just want to know what steps I should take to protect myself.

width of farm equipment in Michigan

was ticketed while hauling hay because the dot officer said the hay wagon was 10 feet wide. I thought farm equipment was exempt from the 9 foot law.

legal judgement

What happens when you have a judgement against you that you find out about it 17 years later, do you have to pay the judgement or does the statute of limitations change this?

Car accident with Cancelled License

Last night a girlfriend named Tiffany allowed her boyfriend Todd to use her car. He rear-ended a car. He has a cancelled drivers license. He called Tiff and she came in a different car, then Todd left the scene and Tiffany spoke with the police and told them that her brother was driving the car. The police have tried to call her brother and he is not willing to say it was him. Tiffany is worried that she will be held responsible for the accident. She doesn't want to tell them Todd was driving. (He is out of jail on Probation right now and will go back to jail for a probation violation) Todd thinks that this will just blow over and the cops don't know who was driving, however Tiff could be held responsible...right?? What should she do?

2 tickets in 2 weeks, should i fight the 2nd one?

I'm 48 and had never had an accident, a ticket, or even a warning until 2 weeks ago. In the past two weeks I got 2 tickets from the SAME COP!

I got the first one for running a red light. I paid it because I figured it's my word against the cop's in traffic court (the intersection just turned yellow before i entered it, but if i would've slammed the brakes to stop i would've stopped in the middle of the intersection and even been rear-ended, had there been a car behind me. i never saw the light turn red while in the intersection)

The second time i got it was for failure to yield when i pulled out of a parking lot. There was nothing to yield to as all the cars on the lane i turned onto were waiting at a red light at an intersection. The light turned green once i was in the lane.

If i would like to view footage recorded by a traffic camera, where would I request it?

Should i contest this second ticket? what are my chances in traffic court? Any tips? Please help and thank you so much.

Sued for Car Accident Medical Pay after 1 Year

I have received a letter from a lawyer for some previous accident I was at fault in. We payed his insurance company directly for the car damage cost and we thought it was over, the accident was on February 2007. Now about 2 days ago I received a letter wanting $5000. It has been over a year and I believe this is just a cheap way to try to make a buck.

I hear that after 1 year one cannot sue for medical for an accident, is this true?

Steep ($500) HOV Traffic Ticket

red light policy for motorcycles in Virginia

I read somewhere (i believe it was a VA dmv manual) that it is legal for motorcyclists to run a red light if the light will not turn green. I believe it said that the cyclist would have to wait for two light cycles, and if the light still does not turn green, then to proceed with caution. Is this true? What are the details of this policy/law? Thanks!

1212Reckless driving on criminal court it is point

fatal car accident w/out ins.

my boyfriend had a suspended license, no insurance or registration - a girl ran out in front of him and she died. the police made a report and gave him a notice that his license was suspended and let him go. now 5 months later the police came to our home and arrested him for a warrant and are charging him with a misdemeanor , Why would they wait so long to charge him and show up out of the blue with never even sending him a notice to appear in court?

Speeding ticket errors

I received a Speeding ticket today Friday 5/16/08 for what was supposed to be 60 in a 40. I realize the officer was giving me a break by not citing me for wreckess driving, but he wrote the ticket for 70 in a 40 and gave me a fine schedule backing up the 60 in a 40. I am still debating on going to court, but if I mail this in I am affraid if he does not catch the error I will owe additional $. The more I look at it the more errors I find, wrong year for my vehicle, wrong offense date and day of week (he put 5/15/08 and THURS) I was in bed with the flu that date. I tried calling him about the speed error, but should I address the other issues in hopes he will give me a break, or just keep quiet and show the judge all of the inconsistencies. I would have addressed the errors with him on the scene, but have had the flu and getting pulled made me feel worse. At that point I just wanted to go home.

Suspended licenses,/ vehicle ownership

I currently have a suspended liscences for failure to pay fines. My grandmother passed away and the vehicle is( has been) in my possession. Its tags and registrarion have been expired for 2 years now. Is it possible to do a title transfer in my name under these circumstances? I dont have intentions of driving it until I get the liscense suspension lifted. The boro/township has restictions and the vehicle can not stay much longer before they remove it...due to their ordinance.

Registration Ticket and Supervision on Speeding Ticket

I recieved a No Proof of Insurance Ticket and a Registration ticket last month. A week later i was heading to court and to the DMV to get everything taken care of and I recieved a speeding ticket and a Registration ticket.

I went to the States Attorney and got the speeding ticket taken care of with supervision and paid the ticket right there. They also dropped the registration ticket. I then went to the other county I recieved the insurance and registration ticket. The insurance ticket was dismissed but I will have to pay the registration ticket by the end of this month.

My question is, will the registration ticket effect the supervision on the speeding ticket. I know I recieved the registration ticket before the speeding ticket, but i paid the speeding ticket before the registration ticket.

Traffic Ticket

I just received a bill in the mail from Kane county court house for a expired registration in the amt of $110 with a note saying if I don't pay by Aug4th, it will continue to incure cost of $50/mon. The bill was from 08/03/01. I called and they told me to contest and go to the judge which will cost me an additional $40 to file paperwork and no one can help me except the judge. Can they do this after 7 years of nothing? I don't ever remember having an expired registration.
