Hi,
I have a question about the CA vehicle code. Another person was driving my vehicle and crashed into a wall. There was damage done to the wall but no one left a note on the damaged wall. (it was late at night and no on was around) After I got home I was looking in the CA vehicle code and came across section 20002. It states that the driver of the vehicle must
"Leave in a conspicuous place on the vehicle or other property damaged a written notice giving the name and address of the driver and of the owner of the vehicle involved and a statement of the circumstances thereof and shall without unnecessary delay notify the police department of the city wherein the collision occurred or, if the collision occurred in unincorporated territory, the local headquarters of the Department of the California Highway Patrol."
I just wanted to make sure that I was not in violation of this or any other section of the code. While it is my car, I was not driving. Do I need to worry about notifying the wall owner and the police or is it the drivers FULL responsibility?
The full text of the code in question can be found at http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/cgi-bin/displaycode?section=veh&group=19001-20000&file=20000-20018
Thanks
