Stop and stay, license and insurance, and the nearest police department.

Two cars collide at an intersection, and a passenger in the other car is hurt.

Two things a person in this spot might do. Picking one shows what the law says about it.

A practice walkthrough, not a prediction of how any real one will go. Legal information, not legal advice.

Words this turns on

Terms with a legal meaning that is narrower than the everyday one. Each links to the definition and the authority behind it.
