After drinking I let my friend drive me home in my car, she wrecked into a curb disabling my vehicle. While on the phone with the wrecker she decided to leave the scene due to her having a suspended license. Shortly after, while still on the line with the wrecker, police showed up. Before leaving with my wrecked car, the cops informed me they picked her up and gave her tickets for driving with a suspended license and fleeing the scene. They also ticketed me for "Allow an unlicensed driver to operate m/v" which I don't see getting out of even though I had no knowledge of her suspension of license, lesson learned to not let people drive my car I guess. I was also ticketed for "Fail to report accident". Even though no damage to any person or other property was done, is it necessary to report this to the police. Officer was not clear with me why I was cited with this other than "You should have called us first" Since i was the passenger and she wrecked, does that count me as a witness seeing someone with a suspended license drive a vehicle, wreck it, and then flee?
