Very good point there, thanks, but:
The license plate of the truck, seen above, appears to be the"new issue" one within the last year or two, and the yellow tags on it looked to be from the 2015 model year, though I did not examine them carefully. THOUGH if they are from years ago, she could be in BIG trouble, she DMV or police might surmise she is trying to fool people by having them LOOK like the 2015 tags which have finally rotated to yellow. Yellow California tags prior to the 2015 year stickers haven't been issued for several years.
I didn't think that those plates would have been issed without vgalid proof of insurance.
But yeah, I could have made a mistake, although at the time I was thinking of what they do in San Francisco, the place I come from, viz, the SFPD NEVER will come to take a motor vehicle auto property damage only accident report, whether on private or public property.
She let slip that she owns a Mexican restaurant in Roseville, and mentioned its name. She was in a hurry to get back to it with the supplies she had just bought at the dollar store.
I'd rather the insurance company of hers handle this, I am not a vengeful sort, BUT Insurance company subrogation is a big pain, and going through small claims court for the deductible, and then post judgment collection is a royal pain, too.
I DO understand that, and If I don't hear from her soon, I will start the wheels rolling myself, and won't be feeling charitable.
I even have gotten the full information from an on-site witness who saw all of it happen.
This afternoon, I will drive the car to the Mustang restoration shop for his ideas, opinions and advice.
I am in no huge hurry here. I can store the car for a while, in the garage at home, under a car cover for it, as the winter is coming, snow predicted the end of the week, in fact.
