> me driving, 3 other persons in the car > had car accident with no other cars involved, i just went off the road and destroyed my car. > the 2 guys in the back seat with minor injuries left the scene before police arrived and few people saw them but they left as well. so no other witnesses > my friend in the front seat hit his head and remained there till the police and ambulance arrived > so police only knows about the 2 of us and i did not mention about the 2 guys in the back seat > the 2 of us have to go to the police tommorow to give a statement. > i have to tell the truth that there were 4 of us, but the guys in the back seat said they don't want to be bothered about this accident, and if they have to go to the police they will try do me harm > my friend in the front seat who hit his head said he has no intention to make a complaint towards me, the other 2 might do it
what to do now ?
Hunter Foster
dont mention them. you are talkong to the police, not God.
Adam Watson
If you own the car and have insurance on the car make a statement that 4 people were in the car, if you don't and they put a claim in on you, you're gonna have to explain why you lied and your insurance maybe void
Colton Bell
The 2 in the back, sounds like they hate you. Why the fuck were they in your car in the first place?
Jonathan Thomas
Tie the loose ends.know what i mean?rent a car and drive them off a cliff.that will show them to not fuck with you.
Carter Ortiz
it s a bit complicated. they were not my friends thou insurance thing is gone. car is in my father's name anyway. i have to mention them, in case one of them later has medical problems and decides to make a complaint towards me, i'll be fucked cause i didn't mention them and be acused of false statements... fuck
Leo Robinson
Do you have proof of their communications threatening to screw you up if you mention them? Would help impeach any false testimony they give.
Adam Carter
No really,think about it.you could be like kurt russel in deathproof just deadlier.become the badass carwreck serial killer.drive them to tiny bits with no traces.maybe install some dashcams.shit would be so cash.
Grayson Bennett
Was there any animals in the vehicle
Brandon Ramirez
don't mention them. If it ever comes up you forgot because trauma. They left so there is no proof they were there. Even if one took a picture of the car it's not proof they were in it unless they have selfies and shit in the back seat.
Xavier Foster
If they don't want anyone to know they were there I'd assume they won't be coming back to prove you a liar in court
Jayden Diaz
no proof. i just called one of them not long ago to be sure they will be at the police tomorrow to give the statement. for fuck sake, all they have to do is come with us to the police, say they have no complaints to make towards me and is over. but one of them in particular says no chance he will go, and if he has to, i will , quote , "regret it"
Nathan Martinez
Tell the cops that this two guys in the back deal and do drugs.thats what this is about,right?
Hudson Butler
Clearly they left for a reason. They have no intentions of talking to the police about it, and if they did they would be in way more trouble than you because they fled the scene of an accident. Nevermind the fact that anyone can walk into a hospital for any injuries at any time and you are not required to disclose how the injury happened or who was involved. Also police RARELY coordinate with hospitals unless they are looking for like someone who they shot and got away >DO NOT SAY SHIT
Landon Turner
Just tell him if he doesn't come down, the other three of you are going to say he attacked you from the back seat and caused the accident.
Brandon Evans
no i did not mention them for about an hour the police were at the accident scene 2 days later and i still can't remember them? true. but how can i be sure they won't fuck me up later yep
Blake Sullivan
hehe . but i'm no snitch i can't remember for sure but i might have mention all of us when i called emergency
Julian Allen
If they try to claim injuries from the accident, you can just claim their injuries were either caused or aggravated by their leaving the scene
Jacob Bell
You're literally a fucking faggot if you tell the police about them. I really hope you're joking about telling the police. You're adding in unnecessary information and police give a shit less about car crashes >it's a fucking statement not an interrogation You're way more fucked if you give the police their names etc. if you do then you can almost guarantee they are going to cash out on your insurance policy (also your insurance rates will skyrocket for the next six years so have fun with that) and on top of all that you'll probably get your teeth kicked in. There is a reason obviously why they didn't want to talk to the police
Bringing them up will cause you more harm than gain in EVERY possible situation
Jose Martin
Just tell the truth.
Ryder Harris
When i find out where you are,i will run you over with a car,crash it against a tree,steal your shitfucked watch,put you in the driverseat and live a happy life.
Gavin Allen
the po-po don't care about the accident, but they do care about being lied to, being so important
Dylan Brooks
Every time when there is trouble it comes down to drugs. You dont have to tell anything.
Landon Perez
Spill the beans, who were they and why were they in the car?
Why'd you crash?
Were you getting a blowie or doing drugs?
As an answer, don't tell the police about em. If they bounced cuz they don't want the cops to know they were there, they aren't going to go to the cops and say, hey, I was there.
Don't say shit, then tell them you did, watch the reaction, then say nah just kidding or some shit.
Really I just want to know what sketchiness you were up to.
Gotta be drugs.
Dominic Long
Do you even realize what a statement is? Nobody is in trouble when you're writing a statement for a car accident that you did to yourself. If it was me and i told youi not to mention my name and you did, id lie my ass off to the police and tell them you were smoking pot and driving or texting or some shit just to get you in more trouble and get my friend to attest to it too, then i would cash out on your insurance and say that my neck hurts and then youre paying up the ass for free money for me. >i thought of that in 5 minutes. so just imagine what they can think of in more time >Don't say anything to the police about them
Jordan Bennett
you got it. they helped us with the thing. they had to leave, i understand that. after that, i called emergency and then my father and cops and ambulance and firemen arrived. police and firemen wrote down our names. nobody suspected there were more than 2 of us but when we got home i told my father there were 2 more persons in the car. he talked to somebody and that somebody told him about false statements and shit, i can go to jail for false statements and bullshit, and now my father says i have to do tell the truth to the police, and now i'm stuck with this. fuck me right
Camden Price
>this also you can sue the driver for injuries if you want to "Unlike the driver, as a passenger you were not at fault and are therefore entitled to recover the full amount of your damages. You may sue the other driver, the driver of the car you were riding in, or both. The right to sue both drivers (really, his or her insurance company) is especially important when you have suffered severe injuries that result in damages that are higher than the insurance policy limits of each driver. In such a situation, you could sue both drivers and get full compensation for your damages, or at least the maximum allowed under both insurance policies."
Yeah you're tredding on thin ice here OP. i wouldn't mention them because they can fuck you way harder than the police will if they find out you lied. worst thing the police can do is fine you a few hundred for false statement
Brandon Foster
Actually no you can't go to prison for a false statement. If you can prove your statement was "Under Duress" then you can tell the police anything you want and if they find out you lied then you show them evidence that they threatened you and you're free to go. Laws are simple to work around if you know what you're doing. >source: criminal justice degree
Daniel Green
if the passengers are going to sue you, their best case scenario is to get you to lie to the police, so they can then use that as 'proof' that you didn't tell the cops because you knew you were guilty of causing their whiplash
Jaxson Lewis
is not just me, my friend in the front seat has to give a false statement as well, so if this shit gets fucked up, he will suffer as well. i'm from ex communist european country so just imagine that. say i don't want to mention them, but what if cops ask " were there other people in the car?" i have to say no, and that i believe is a false statement
Carson Gutierrez
I hate the word accident.
This crash was caused by a lack of driving ability and/or care and attention to the road.
Doing something intentionally to distract yourself from driving doesn't make it an accident, it's an inevitability.
Ryan Wright
Do I Have to Remain at the Scene after an Accident? In every state, there are laws making it a crime for someone involved in a car accident to flee the scene. This is commonly known as a “hit and run” accident. The purpose of these laws is to:
Offer assistance to those who might be injured Provide an opportunity to exchange identification and insurance information Prevent someone from escaping any criminal or civil liability that might arise from the accident.
This states that its a crime for them to flee the accident. hit and run is a worse crime than a flase statement which means if police ever got involved then they would "cut a deal" (97% of all court cases dealing with police end in a deal so you have a 97% chance that they will do this) they just ask you to testify against them saying they left and said not to call police on them etc. and then you testify and they go to jail for a long time and you're free.
Zachary Reyes
What? this makes absloutley no sense. im not saying they want to sue you, if they WANTED to sue you then they wouldnt have left in the first place. The reason they would sue you is because you fucked them over and went to the police so they are saying fuck you for going to the police and since they are involved now they will take any and all legal action against you as the driver because you're at fault
Hudson Walker
It's rather hard for them to get you to lie to the police if they stayed in the car
Joseph Turner
wait
so they don't want them to know that they were there but want to make complaints?
Jack Bailey
hmm so there are 4 for scenarios 1. i don't tell about them. my friend doesn't make complaint. is over 2. i don't tell about them. later on shit backfires and i'm fucked for false statement 3. i tell about them. they make a complaint against me, or shit can go wrong for a number of reasons 4. i tell about them. they give a statement, say no complaints, and is over. thank you for the help, i guess i have one night to decide
Leo Walker
i doubt 4 will happen also ANY lawyer can get you off number 2 due to the fact that you were under duress when you made the statement.
Lucas Nelson
>3. i tell about them. they make a complaint against me, or shit can go wrong for a number of reasons Then they have trouble giving the cops a good reason why they fled the scene of an accident without showing symptoms of injuries
Hunter Jenkins
>Not American This actually makes a lot of sense as to why you are questioning if you should tell their names. Unless you thoroughly understand american law then its hard for you to understand that lieing to them is the better idea 100%. most of the people posting here are probably american which is why every person in here told you to lie. Don't get fucked by the system just because you don't understand it
Jayden Gonzalez
/Thread Hit and run (even if you're not the driver) can carry jail time for up to 15 years in prison for them.
I doubt they will be going in to the police to say they were at the accident any time soon
Chase Scott
American law screws you bigtime for lying, including destroying your credibility in court. Like the guy they put in jail for lying about outing Valerie Plame. The fibbies questioned him about it even though they already secretly knew that someone else had done it.
Luke Nelson
kek well if you want to play the credibility card then you already lied so you're fucked if you tell the truth now because you're not credible anymore. kek enjoy being fucked in multipule ways when you tell the truth. >im done with this thread
Aiden Martin
you either tell the police their names and theres a 100% chance either the police fuck you or they fuck you or both OR You dont tell the names and theres maybe a 1% chance they go to the police and you get in more trouble than the former. you pick
Luis Hernandez
You're a fool if you lie to the cops over such minor shit. Tell the truth. And if you lie and are caught, know that the 2 who skated aren't going to back your story that they wanted you to lie.
