well that can change many opinions in all sorts of directions. we want to help, give advice, but if what we offer is of no help for his particular situatiuon, then it is a useless attempt to garner sympathy or support.
of course many others will no matter what bash him for the accident, that was "minor", when it is really known to be something else.
like, was the crash victim taken to the hospital?
was there more than one person in the car, like kids?
are you being sued now by the victim?
you see, by leaving out details, we can only wonder, surmise, assume,(on conjecture) add our own thoughts on what happened, etc,etc.
and usually many of us are spot on.

How does a someone come on here asking advice turn into a livestock tailgating debate.
OP when I first started driving 9 years ago,had 2 accidents,was forced to come off the road,ended up with a yard dog job.
Thanked the Lord for that job,worked that for a few years,until my record got clean,that might be something he could look into,and he'll be home everyday.TokyoJoe, FlaSwampRat, x1Heavy and 2 others Thank this. -
if he's going to "tell you something" he had better fess up REAL QUICK the truth, the whole truth and nothing BUT the truth...
it's far easier to support him, stand beside him knowing 100% of everything, rather than to be blindsided with a court summons, or knock on the door, and the cops presenting him with those pretty shiney wrist bracelets.
the time to contact a lawyer WITH THE FACTS is ASAP...NOT several days, weeks down the road, cuz you got to know, the victim(s) have a bank of lawyers waiting to chew your husband up and spit him out.
that's when it's too late to have your bags packed to get kicked to the curbCam Roberts Thanks this. -

it can be a few days to a few short weeks, to get that letter in the mail.
this is what usually happens when the driver is cited at the scene, saying in effect, he IS/WAS guilty of causing the wreck.x1Heavy Thanks this. -
A common scenario that I’ve heard in class is you’re driving on a one-way road and a vehicle is driving the wrong way. What do you do? The recommendation is to stay in your lane and hit the brakes. If you attempt to move elsewhere, it may put you in a position where now you’re held liable. By the way, these scenarios work best for big commercial trucks and not four-wheelers.
TokyoJoe Thanks this. -
