A friend of mine was hit head on last week by a lady who drifted over to his side of the road. She was issued a ticket for 39:4-07. Can anyone tell me what this charge is? TIA!

4-07 is "Directors hearings information", I think you got the wrong info from your friend. 4-97 perhaps? That would be careless, and make much more sense.

Check this site. I think it may be in here somewhere.

Thanks j0n, he was not allowed to touch the ticket, the officer just held it up and said she got a ticket. She drifted into his lane, hit him so hard his car bounced off hers and turned sideways and she hit him again! When he got out, her front wheels were still spinning and smoking, he had to go tell her to shut off her car! Cruise control or her foot still on the gas? Then she just wanted to trade insurance information and not call the police! He said "I am calling 911 right now!" Thanks again!

That doesn't exist under title 39 bro, call the department that issued it or standby for the report.

Thanks guys. He picked up the report and it was indeed a 4-97 (careless). The insurance company said the car is totaled and they stopped making this car in 2010. Now he has to look for a good, used one and he had a lot of custom stuff on the wrecked one. S#cks big time!

Ouch! Sucks to hear man... what type of car?

Don't laugh! It is a PT Cruiser! Iknow, I know, but we have a PT Cruiser Club with 275 members and we do like 15 events a year and some of the people have done mad mods to theirs and it is a very social thing. I have a turbo in mine and it kicks the crap out of my son't GTI

I have no hate for the 2.4T

 

(yes i look like an idiot)

Sorry, cubic inches are king in my book. (Although I would take a Buick Grand National any day)

I loved my 71 Buick Gran Sport w/455, until my buddy wrapped it around a pole and drove the fan shaft into the engine block.

 

Mine was in green, but you get the idea.

Modern day muscle. with GMS-1 290 hp from the factory..

The important thing is that he wasn't injured. I assume he wasn't injured. Glass and metal can be repaired or replaced.

 

The insurance company will cut him a check for what they think the car was worth. If your friend things their price is good, then take it. If your friend thinks the insurance company is low-balling him, he can negotiate the pay out.

 

Your friend might get called to be a witness if the other driver contests the ticket. I got hit and dragged into that crap. I was out the court house for 2 hours while the prosecutor let the other driver plea the ticket down. No one ever talked to me. Point is, you can't worry about the other driver and what ticket they got. Just file the claim, hopefully with her insurance company, and see how much he can get.

You're lucky you only had to go one time. The usual tactic is to adjourn the case over and over again ,for years sometimes, until the one day you don't show. Then they get the case dismissed.

You all need a little more squeeze........... <<<<
