honda\'s (especially accords) I think are one of the most stolen cars because of universal parts, easy to break into, and there are just a TON of them on the road.  Your lucky it\'s only that much damage, could have been much worse.

sorry it happened to ya, hope they catch whoever did it.  They never caught mine.

Charge her with what? She wasn\'t driving the car...


I\'m sorry Alli, anything I can do to help let me know.

My car is in the shop this week, but I would be able to help you with rides to work or whatever next week if you need them.

Well they won\'t charge her with anything per se HOWEVER, how long was the car uninsured for ? Were there still plates on the car ?

Not exactly sure how it works in CT but in NY once the car is uninsured you HAVE to return the plates. Failure to do so is a big problem. They will allow you to pay a fine in NY up to 90days (it is something like $3 or $5 a day penalty) in order to re-register the car with proof of INS. After 90 days tho and you have to wait the same amount of time in order to re-register the car. So if you have had an uninsured car for 91days (1 day more then they allow $ penalty) you would have to wait 91 days until you can re-register the car. I went through this myself it is a huge pain in the ass and fees on top of fees.

So if the car was uninsured and the plates were not returned it would be a really good idea to check with the CT DMV to see what your options are.

Sally. Here is some information regarding the CT insurance laws.

In the state of CT, can you let me know the penalty for driving without a license and being involved in a accident in inclement weather with a lapsed insurance policy?  
 
Connecticut Statues (Motor Vehicles Chapter 246, Section 14) discusses the penalties for driving without a valid license. Here it states that any person who violates any provision of this section shall, for a first offense, be deemed to have committed an infraction and be fined not less than seventy-five dollars or more than ninety dollars and, for any subsequent offense, shall be fined not less than two hundred fifty dollars or more than three hundred fifty dollars or be imprisoned not more than thirty days, or both.

Connecticut law requires that all registered motor vehicles have liability insurance maintained at all times. When you register or renew a vehicle registration, you must certify insurance coverage. Your signature attests that minimum vehicle liability insurance will be maintained throughout the registration period and the vehicle will not be driven without insurance. Action must be taken by the DMV if this statement is not honored.

Whenever insurance coverage is cancelled, the CT DMV is notified by the insurance company and the registrant is mailed a Warning Notice offering the opportunity to enter into a consent agreement, obtain insurance, and pay a fine of $200.

The penalties for being caught driving without insurance in CT include impoundment of the vehicle and a fine of at least $110. Because of being in an accident you will likely be held personally responsible for the damages and injuries you might have caused to the others.

You should check with the CT DMV and/or the Insurance Department for more information on your possible penalties for driving without a license and without insurance plus being in an accident in inclement weather.
 
 

There was a statistic out a few years back that claimed Willimantic was the dope capital of New England (b/c of its location between Boston and New York).

Thanks for the info but my car is registered in the live free or die state. Which is either gonna help me or hurt me. Since I live in CT.

well the gun fire does sound tempting... but im pretty sure after all this **** gets figured out and I have a car back I\'m gonna have to go back to NH. There will be no way I can afford to live here.


Thanks to everyone for your concern.

few questions

1. what is the deal with willamantic?  i dont know anything about this city, is it ghetto?

2. Did you have insurance, but just not the type that would cover that, or did you have NONE at all?  cause this will change things a bit legally

3. where was the car found?

2. NONE at all.


3. In a ditch a town over.
