My father (74 yrs old, non English speaking) got charged yesterday with Failure to Remain. He was going to church at 7:45am, struck a pedestrian which he didn't realize he hit and went to church (which was approx 15 feet away from the accident site. He parked his car, someone said something to him in English which he didn't understand and went to church. When he got out of church, the police were there and charged him with failure to remain, the cop mentioned he had a clean driving record. My dad honestly did not see he hit someone, his actions did not resemble someone who purposely was trying to speed off, flee and hide because the church was just across the street. He is devastated at the fact that he hurt someone. I am going to hire someone - best case scenario is he gets off, what is worst case scenario? How does his age impact this? Thx

Hi everyone, after 12 years of clean driving, I got my first ticket. I had stepped out to grab a bite and left my valid licence in my other pocket. I had an expired "valid photo ID" licence in my vehicle that I keep just in case I need photo ID. I gave the officer that one and I told him my valid…

this is ALL I got in terms of notes. No record of calibration before or after.
my question is, should I send a second request for the officer's notes from the day? or can I run with this and press the point that he didn't test the unit before or after?
