Failing To Name A Driver
 |
According to our legal system, failing to name the driver of your vehicle when it has an accident is a greater crime than being in the accident while driving the car yourself!
Several cases finish up in court because people do not name the person who was driving their car at the time of the accident and although it seems like an honourable thing to do to protect your friend; it is in fact very foolish. Accidents happen all the time, although some are more serious than others, but even the best drivers cant avoid them completely.
It is quite a common happenstance that drivers flee from the accident spot after causing an accident ” especially if the accident is a serious one. The car is then traced back to the owner, whose responsibility it is to identify the driver or else he or she is liable for two charges, one is failing to name the driver, and the other is the accident itself.
Many people dont even know the address of their drivers, and the only contact is a mobile phone number, which can just be disposed off in a trash can! So there is a learning here ” if you are employing a driver, make sure that you know all his details and if necessary, get them verified from a third party agency, so that you are not at fault when something untoward happens.
Every year there are thousands of cases where an accident has happened and the owner of the vehicle says he doesnt know who was driving the car at the time. This is almost always resolved by a witness to the crash identifying the driver who then gets fined for the crash, and the owner of the vehicle gets charged with failure to name the driver, the latter of which carries the greater punishment.
