Why?????

Shouldn't the insurance company be able to go after the registered owner on the vin?

Yeah if they could find her

dude, that same shit happened to my wife when we were in college. some black bitch hit her while she was backing out of a parking space. she told my wife she didnt have insurance and her license was suspended and drove off. luckily my wife had good insurance and they paid for her car. some people are such pieces of shit.

now thats alot of speed and force to warp a 10.5 cause thats a pretty stout axle

Yeah, we figure that a couple of his friends egged him into doing something stupid and that he got all 4 corners off the ground in the process, not that he was the most responsible person to begin with.

Best part, to get it into the shop to fix the resulting vibration, he told his dad all he did was hit a parking stop., We balanced the wheels 5 times to no effect before someone noticed the bend in the axle.

Well the VIN should be matched to an address as well as a name. People can move easily, but street addresses are fairly stationary, they should be able to check back there and then leave a summons after 5 days if no one has found her.

Also, in PA at least, if your car is in an accident driven by someone else and neither of you have proper insurance, if the car was not reported stolen before the accident, the owner is responsible for the damages and then they can go after the person who was driving for whatever that amount was.

you see the problem with that is she may have bought the car and never transfered the title. Happens all the time in Oregon because the plates go with the car, happens alot in Michigan if you happen to already have a plate you just put it on the car you just bought.

I have a problem with this for the same reason as stated above

You can barely see some frame damage in this pic

If you look from front to rear you can see how far down it knocked my frame

This pic does not show how bad it really leans to the right

But all in all I'm happy with the way that the ranger took that impact and the small amount of damage that it really had to it the frame bumper and bedside are the worst parts damaged

I can only speak for PA laws as far as how things work. But I know that we can track owner's address from the vin here, and if you didn't transfer that title (which legally you are supposed to do) you are just as liable as the person driving was.

Did the impact put that bend in your bed wall? And if you buy it to part it out does it have a front skid-plate that you'd want to sell?

in any state that I have lived in the seller does not transfer the title (unless the seller is a dealer). We have to keep a record of sale for 18 months in MI. but that does not mean the info given by the buy is accurate.

daaauuummm

yes the bed was bent in the impact and no I wish my truck had skid plates

I dunno man. I have bought/sold several vehicles in person to person transactions here in PA. The title has always gone with the car. You kinda need it for registration and insurance under PA law, but we are a commonwealth, so we do have some screwy laws.

thats why i always have my hitch on they stop a rear impact i had a girl hit me on hwy you know how everyone comes to a stop on hwy all of at once i got stopped but she didt hit me doing 55mph busted both fiberglass feners on dully f350 her car looked like it was droped from a building hitch saved my ass and truck

 

[adsm08]

I was the offender in one of those situations once. Everyone stopped all at once, and I hit my pedal and locked my rear wheels (that car has some brake issues when the rear end gets light) and I ran right into some guy's hitch. Darn lucky he had it in too, otherwise there may have actually been damage to one of our vehicles.

 

[Rangerman4158]

Yeah my hitch is the only thing that saved the left side from getting damaged she hit me just a little off center and it made her car go right I hardly ever remove the hitch and you can bet from now on that the hitch will not be removed again
