WHAT TO DO IF YOU ARE REAR ENDED AND THE OTHER PERSON DROVE OFF

More than 1 in 10 drivers in Minnesota don’t have insurance. In addition, there are many people driving without a valid driver’s license. Therefore, when an accident occurs the person who caused it may driver off. Maybe they are uninsured or maybe they don’t even have a driver’s license. Either way, they are trying to take off without having to be responsible for the damage they have done. So what should you do if the other driver leaves after rear ending you? First, try to get their license plate number. As least, write down the make and model of their car. Then call the police.

Whatever you do, don’t chase after them. If is not worth the risk. Do your best to get some information, but stay where you are and wait for the police.
