    I Need Help - Credit Reward

    Sent out some credits, thanks again for answers though i didn't need em in the end lol.


    5000 to jellygod, for the best answer ever, even though i was pissed at the time
    2000 to drugstore for suggesting i was under the influence, which wasn't the case at that time but a damn good answer
    1000 to rushy for an amazing avatar
    1000 to gab for being completely oblivious
    1000 to moo for another funny answer

    everyone else who posted gets 100 creds. I'll keep the story up i guess.






    I know this isn't the right site to post this, but I don't really use any other forums so i'll give this a go here. I need some opinions on what i should do.

    So Yesterday I was out snowboarding with 3 friends, 2 male and 1 female, at a local hill. Near the end of the day, me and male friend 1 were still riding, while male friend 2 and female friend were in the lobby. I had left my car keys in my coat in the lobby, which I wasn't wearing cause it was nice out.

    So we finally stop riding, me and male friend 1 find out that the other 2 moved my car while we were riding to a closer spot. I didn't think anything of this.

    Now the very next morning, i get a call from a police officer. I find out my car was witnessed hitting another car sometime around 4-5pm yesterday. He says he's gonna call my mom and talk to her (Since I'm only 17 and the car is under her name). So as soon as he hangs up, I call both my friends who moved my car. Now they swear they didn't hit anything, and I've known them for a long time I can't see them lying to me. Plus it was the FEMALE friend that moved the car.

    Now here's the witnesses claim. a MALE driver backed up into a parked car with no one in it. The witness then came over and supposedly spoke to the male driver, who then drove off. I'm looking at 1000 dollars fine, a criminal record for fleeing a crime scene, and 5 years removal of my license (I live in Canada).

    So when i called my friends, the first thing i asked them both before i explained the situation was WHO WAS DRIVING. They both said it was my female friend. Now the witness claims it was a MALE driver who they had spoken with.

    The only other male driver all day was me. I am over 99% sure I didn't hit anything all day, I am a very responsible driver. If the witness had just reported they saw the accident, and called it in, I would have been baffled, but would have accepted that maybe i did hit something, and bought out the claim.

    See thats my other option, If I buy out the claim, for a few hundred dollars, I keep my license, and theres no criminal record. But the part that makes the whole situation complete bull**** is apperently the witness came over and SPOKE WITH THE MALE DRIVER, and then the male driver just drove off. No one spoke with me. I just don't understand how this is happening, It's complete and utter bull****. Any opinions are greatly appreciated.

    The only thing I can think of, maybe a witness struck the parked vehicle, looked around, saw my license plate, and reported it. This seems pretty out there, but the whole situation is pretty baffling. What should i do?



    I've been researching auto insurance fraud, and there's cases extremely similar to mine, but they're hard to find. An example is this one:

    Any similar cases will be rewarded heavily with credits.

    legit discussion that took place in the other thread:

Although it's true they're your good friends, people tend to bend the truth in order to save themselves. Your friends could have said the girl was driving in order to protect their other friend, the guy.

    By having your friends take the keys to your car, you pretty much gave away your responsibilities of that car to them (wow I sound like a parent). And isn't kind of rude for your friends to just take your keys? I'd be pretty pissed. Especially if, the next day, I'm getting a fine, criminal record, and suspension. Buy out the claim and keep your license, you wouldn't want to go 5 years without it. Better talk to your "friends."

    I posted that pretty quickly, I'll add some more information.

    We'll call the female friend Sarah and the male friend John, the two who moved the car.
    I have known Sarah since grade 2, she's one of my closest friends, we've dated, and i know i can trust her. John on the other hand, i hardly know, and he just tagged along to come snowboard. SARAH DIDN'T KNOW JOHN UNTIL YESTERDAY. Now they both told me it was Sarah driving, not john, and the witness claims it was a MALE driver. Sarah has absolutely no reason to lie if John was really driving, so it didnt happen when they moved the car. This rules out my friends crashing being an option.

    Also i've discussed it with everyone, and the spot the car was parked in had no one in front of us. We simply PULLED FORWARD out of it and left. Now the witness claims we BACKED UP into another car. While I can't remember if there was a car behind us, We absolutely did not go backwards.

    I've been researching this over the internet for the last few hours, and i've found literally identical cases. I believe this to be auto insurance fraud, I plan on getting an attorney and getting to the bottom of this.

          jellygod please try to take this seriously.

          And drugstore yes i do drink and smoke pot, but i hadn't done either of these in well over 24 hours. Also there were 3 other sober people in the car when we left. We definitly didn't hit anything.

            just listen to lito. buy out the claim. when you're 18-22, you're gonna wanna drive. especially if you plan to date.

            its totally not hot to have your parents drive you to the mall/movies at age 22.

              I believe this comes down to 2 options:

              1) Plead guilty for a crime i didn't do, get off with minimal consequences and let them get away the scam or whatever this is

              2) Try to fight it and suffer serious consequences if I'm still found guilty in court

                On a serious note i agree with drugstore, you're gonna run into some assholes every once in a while in life. You just have to deal with it and move on. Buy out the claim and get on with your life.

                        This is a very big deal for me, seeing as how i could lose my license for 5 years. Obviously FFR is not the right place to post a serious discussion thread, but i would greatly appreciate if we tried to keep this on topic

                          It's hard man. They want me to admit that yes, I struck a vehicle and fled the scene. That's the hardest thing to do when you know it isn't true. The money itself isn't the biggest deal but a few hundred dollars still isn't something to be taken lightly. Imagine waking up in this situation, it sucks so bad, I'm still stunned.

                            Bad idea to post this in chit chat. Yeah that pretty much sucks. If it were me, I'd fight it in court because this is serious, but thats just me. You may be better off just buying it out.
