Reply to comment by [deleted] in Got rear ended this morning 9am with car full of kids, driver fled the scene, but cops gave ME a hard time. by OceanAvenue187

Next time I definitely won’t move my vehicle. But I moved it today only because the woman who hit me fled the scene and I wanted to get off the busy road. But I see now that was the wrong thing to do.

I’ve seen my fair share of ridiculous police tickets. I had a friend in college get a ticket for fleeing the scene after she returned to the scene of an accident she WITNESSED. She was in front of the car that crashed and saw it in her rear view mirror. She in no way caused the accident or was involved and still had to pay the fine for fleeing the scene.

No, definitely move your vehicle, just don’t drive a mile down the road. Get front and back dash cams.

People also confuse a police report as proof for insurance. Even if the police report says you are 100% absolved of fault, the insurance companies very well likely will side differently.

Dash cams are irrefutable proof.
