If you crash your car, don't leave it in the ditch. I have a friend who skidded on ice early one morning before Christmas and wrote off his car. At 9am he was in the garage and requested a tow. The garage was unable to do this until later the same day. Within a couple of days he got a letter informing him that he was being fined for "abandonment". He wrote back, explained the situation and enclosed a copy of the form which says that the car was scrapped dated the day after the accident and assumed that would be that.
Not good enough it seems - he got a letter to say pay up within a week or he will be taken to court.
He phoned to see if this was sent in error and the lady didn't have all the details in front of her and will get back to him tomorrow.
Just thought it was worth a warning and I wonder if anyone can tell me the legal definition of abandonment ?
