RE: What a Way to Start the Day

laken1 · Hermes

BOOOO HISS! I agree with everything ladysi said. Sorry you have to deal with this today...

member · Hermes

Nope - he wasn't able to get the name of the trucking company. To be honest w/you, I don't even know if there was one on the truck. I guess I'll call the non-emergency # and see what they tell me to do.

Kitty · Hermes

YES..file a police report. A hit and run is a huge deal and I hope they get slammed for it.

I'm so happy he got the license plate number!

rlutz · Chanel

so sorry that happened to you...definitely call the police and report it...they should be able to track down the truck by the liscense plate number

halleybird · Hermes

Oh yeah, they will find him with the license plate. I had a hit and run once (long story, but I really didn't realize I'd hit someone) and they can find you!

member · Hermes

Here's my next question - say I file a police report tonight. They'll run the plate # and try to find him, and then what happens next?? What will happen to the guy, etc?

scarlett · Marc Jacobs

I agree, you should definitely file a police report. How crappy! That is so awful to hit someone's car and then just drive off.

I've never been in this situation, but I imagine they would give him a fine and he'd have to pay for your repairs.

Way to go for his quick thinking to get the licence plate number! I would have called the police immediatly for a hit and run. Keep us posted!

he'll get ticketed, and he will have to report it to his insurance.

Yeah, he'll get a ticket - and it's usually like 3 points on your driving record instead of just one point (like most tickets)

When I was involved in a hit and run I called the police and gave them the guys plate # and they did the rest. They came and looked at my car, assessed the damage (not for insurance purposes, just for the report) they contacted him, (it was an honest mistake, he didn't realize there was damage) he filed my damage on his insurance and everything was paid for. He had to go to court because of the ticket, and I had to make a statement for court.

I would imagine that's what the police will do in your situation.

jacL · Coach

I swear, it is just bad luck to have a car in this city! I would file a report and I really hope something happens to this guy--at the very least, he or the company will pay for your damages, minimal as they may be.

I am sorry!
