Good idea. We need to know if the other driver colluded with Russia during or before their driving test.

Time frame is a massive problem,here.

Get a lawyer

Do your homework and go to an office for a legal consultation. Most of them do it for free.

Call Bob Loblaw.

What to expect.

lmao :D input from a US lawyer! yeah i think that's tinye actually. but he's in disguise right now he's pretending to be a rhethard

look, PUNK! idgaf about your car.. and idgaf about your accidents! in fact idgaf about giving a fawk... :'(

Ciomalau, was one ban not good enough for you or something?

what can i do, i keep coming back to gog - where else could i find such fine rhethards? i also remember when a punk on steam once asked me why i play borderlands 1 when i can play 2. he must've been thinking it's version 1 which can be upgraded to 2 heh

Which GTA are you talking about?

As a few of you have said, it turns out he was just called into court (not jury) a week from now, as he clarified later. He was initially very panicked and was worried that he could face severe legal repercussions, larger than he is.

According to him, he's not even going to face the punishment I linked. He's looking at this instead. Up to 3 months in jail and up to $750 in fines is certainly much better, especially when jail time is concerned.

For those saying it was a scam, ultimately you'd have to believe it for yourself, but my friend had been honest about this and was just as equally distressed. He first told me of the accident itself and how it made him feel like crap. A couple hours later, he told me of the court case, very more distressed than before. I've known him for years, and I've little to believe he's planning a scam without first doing anything shady earlier. Plus, if he were to prank me, he wouldn't use something as serious as the law system, and I have no reason to believe he's pranking us.

Now for those who are..."why are you asking random idiots on this forum for legal advice" or "get a lawyer", I honestly don't need these responses. He IS getting a lawyer. I'm asking you guys in the hopes that someone can talk from a position of experience (see OldFatGuy's or DarrkPhoenix's responses) and can provide any assurance or tips to handle the situation. Either way, thank you all for giving me some peace of mind about this.

Maybe the thread title is a bit unfortunate, because you're asking for "legal advice". That, together with the fact that you didn't mention a lawyer in the OP, might have indicated that you're seeking professional advice here.

I'll admit I kind of didn't do well with the thread. I rushed it at night and only learned of the more up to date information right after posting it. By then I was only on mobile where I wasn't logged onto GOG.
