So me and my friend were driving and he doesn't have a license but I do. Hes getting one in a month because he has a driving test appointment in October. So were driving and some one speed 60 in a 35 zone. Drives around us and doesn't have a scratch on car. Gets his number and his id number and his insurance (expired and wrong one) and it was someone else's car and they called him and saying it was a minor scratches and nothing really but since he had no license they said they could meet him up next day to see damages but he said no scratches but a minor fender bender. But he said it looks like around 500. They don't have info on the car other that vauge description of car. He has paperwork saying he was work at the time they claimed to the parents that called him. Should he just block the number and ignore it or should he meet up with them. Hes freaking and I'm confused because it sound like they're trying to con him. They only know him state id number and phone. That's it.

Your friend was driving, and the other driver hit your car? I don't understand what happened.

Can you write your post again, point by point?

Your post is a bit unclear. I'm assuming that while you and your unlicensed friend were driving, you got into an accident. You got the insurance information? Or did they, and your friend the unlicensed driver didn't have insurance? Is that right? Or is it the other driver that has no insurance?

Who can prove they were at work during the accident? Your friend, or the driver of the other car, or the owner of the other car?

Who doesn't have info on the car? You and your friend, or the driver that called and asked your friend to pay for damages?

Were the police called after the accident? Was this accident reported to either drivers insurance?

If your friend is at fault for the accident, and the other driver can show evidence that it was his fault, and there was damage done to the other vehicle, then your friend needs to tell the other driver to contact his insurance company. After that the other driver will have to show proof of damages by taking the vehicle to an auto body shop, and asking for a bill stating how much it will cost to fix the damages.

Your friend should not do anything, or give any money, unless the other driver shows damages, and reports this accident to his insurance company.

I read this 5 times and I still am not sure what I read. You were driving and someone passed you doing 60 but there were no scratches but then they claimed scratches... then they claimed minor fender bender... then... then... then I don't know.

Tell me about it. My brain still hurts after reading that. Makes no sense at all. Who is him? Who are they? Who drove? Who was at work during the accident, and if he/she was at work during the accident then why is he/she involved, and who cares?

My poor brain can't handle this. I can't even begin to decipher this mess, and I used to work in insurance, got calls from people that didn't even know what color their car was, every day.

I tried, I really did. Usually I am fairly good at figuring out this kind of post but this one just has me lost to the point that I gave up.

Well I'm female, and curious by nature, so I still want to know what the story is. The OP just needs to write it better. I'll even help.

To the OP, instead of using him, them, he, she, use names. You don't have to use real names, you can make them up.

For instance. Call your friend Bob, and the driver of the other vehicle can be John. Give names to the other people involved, such as the person that was at work but somehow has something to do with this accident.

Explain the situation clearly. Give details, but write those details accurately.

You don't even mention anything about an accident in your thread, you just mention that a car drove by you exceeding the speed limit, and when the car drove by it had no scratches. So, if that car passed you and you noticed there weren't any scratches as you were admiring the car, then why is this person suddenly asking you or Bob for $500? Was there an accident? Who was at fault? Were the police called? Who is the one that doesn't have insurance?

The main problem here is your friend. He has no license. You are 18 (I read that in you other posts) and really, you aren't legally allowed to be the "supervisor" for a person with only a learners permit. In most States you must be 25 in order to "supervise" a person driving with a learners permit. So you and your buddy broke the law.

Your friend was driving, and the other driver hit your car? I don't understand what happened.

Yes they hit our car. And they got our insurance info but they didn't give us there's. And my friend had proof he was at work at the time they claimed that he hit them

The cops weren't called and its almost been 48 hours. And it been past the time by 1:30 tmrrw. And they said 500 dollars for like a 5 inche scrap.and we showed our insurance and they didn't give us any info and my friend can proof he was working at that time

But your friend WASN'T working. He was in the car with you. In fact, he was driving?

Why didn't you get their insurance info?

Yes they hit our car. And they got our insurance info but they didnt give us theRes. And my friend had proof he was at work at the time they claimed that he hit them

So the friend that you said was driving has proof that he wasn't driving when he was driving and the accident occurred? Or is it the owner of the car that was at work?

The cops werent called and its almost been 48 hours. And it been past the time by 1:30 tmrrw. And they said 500 dollars for like a 5 inche scrap.and we showed our insurance and they didnt give us any info and my friend can proof he was working at that time

What friend? The one that was driving?

Here are the facts. You're not old enough to be the supervisor for an unlicensed driver with only a learners permit. Your friend that was driving, wasn't at work, he was driving. If that's not the friend you're talking about, then who? The owner of the car that lent his car to an unlicensed driver and a supervisor that's not old enough to legally supervise?

Do you see where this is going?

Does the other driver know you are a new driver and your friend (who was driving) has no license?

Is the other driver trying to shake you down for money?

Was the other driver speeding?

Was your friend who was driving speeding?

What I'd really like to know is who was driving the car? The only person we're hearing about is the person that can prove he was at work. So who was driving?

So who was driving?

Ok, you caught me... I was.


No really... with the added information, I am still confused.

Personally, I'd pay the guy $500, because you and the friend broke so many laws, if you don't pay, you're in for a world of hurt if this guy takes it to court, or the cops.

Ok, you caught me....I was.

You and me both. I'd really like to know how someone can drive a car while they're at work. Or who the guy at work is if he's not the driver of the car.

Who's on first? No, who's on second, what's on first? I don't know. Third base! Sigh.

I would say sounds like underage kids are guilty but they need to tell it all to the parents, and let them handle it from this point on.

I agree Chuck. But really, at this point they'd be better off paying the $500 and chalking it up as a learning experience. Five hundred bucks is nothing compared to what could happen if the cops and insurance gets involved.
