THINGS I WISH MY KIDS WOULD ASK ME
Editor’s note: Barry Courter has a 22-year-old son who recently graduated from college and a 17-year-old daughter who is a senior in high school.
Q: Dad, what do I need to do if I’m involved in a little fender-bender?
A: Depends on the damage to either car. If there is no damage to either car and both you and the other driver agree, there is really nothing to do. If either of you dispute it, call for a police officer and exchange insurance information and take pictures of both cars with your cell phone. Look around for witnesses and get phone numbers. Don’t admit to anything and don’t sign anything. The insurance company will handle it. Call the agent as soon as possible.
