It's been 3 years, since it happened but I never got a notice since. So, even though it would be late, will I be punished somehow? Or should I just stay low key, as I have been?

I believe the amount is 500 dollars or more worth of damage occured then you are supposed to report it.

You are supposed to report an accident in CA if there is more than $750 in damage to either vehicle. There is a form called the SR-1 that you have to fill out and mail to them. I just had an accident 2 weeks ago and I had to do this, but they didn't do anything else about it. I think it's just a paperwork thing.
You can get the SR-1 (Vehicle Accident Report) if you want it at

If a police report was filed, the DMV will know about it soon enough. If the accident was mutually agreed that no or not enough damage was caused, and both parties went thier way, then you will only be guilty of fraud when you sell the car and try to say its fine. If you were silly enough to leave the scene of an accident, then you best be ready to enjoy what is coming to you.
Good luck.

CA law requires you to turn in an SR1 form if 1) property damage is $750 or more and/or 2) if there is an injury. CA doesn't allow the "police report" excuse. When in doubt, fill it out...I've seen the DMV do some pretty crazy things to someone who didn't turn it in.

I stay in Michigan and we are suppost to document injuries, if we dont document it and a few how the police discover out, we get an computerized superb and a pair of things on each and each licence of the drivers in touch. many instances injuries at the instant are not stated to sidestep tickets and fines. i could be lost throughout this difficulty too. Technically via fact that your at fault, its a solid subject that it wasnt stated to the police (you've gotten had fines and factors, for that reason your assurance might flow up for here couple of years). tell the different party to tell their assurance enterprise that it became effectual and run, for that reason area of the comp area of a declare. Technically via fact that NO police document became filed, I dont think of you're in charge for something. Its been over 20 days. i for my area think of that the different party is attempting to get money from you in any way available, how undesirable became the wear and tear?

If there is any bodily injury, or over $500 in property damage, it must be reported. Your insurance company can advise you.

You had to answer this question on your drivers license test. Don't you remember it? The answer is just what "bindsbundysmom" said.
