What is the name of your state?washington
I was driving to work and, due to wet road and a little bit of extra speed, my car failed to turn when requested. I left the roadway and took out a road sign as well as wiping out the end of a guard rail. Am I liable for damages, and do I have to report the incident?also I had to let my insuranc lapse because of income problems.

my car failed to turn when requested.

My response: Nice explanation. I like that. "Now, car. Please turn 20 degrees to the left."



I left the roadway and took out a road sign as well as wiping out the end of a guard rail. Am I liable for damages, and do I have to report the incident?

My response: No. Let someone else pay for it with their life. Who needs road signs and guardrails anyway?



also I had to let my insuranc lapse because of income problems.

My response: Ah, now we're getting somewhere. The reason you're asking here in the first place is because you were also driving illegally!

Do they call you Dufus?

If the sign and the guardrail were not yours you are liable for the damages.
But the chances of them tracking you down to prosecute you for damage to a sign and guardrail are pretty slim.
Unless someone saw you.

You should be more worried at this point about your income problem and your driving habits.
