Hit and run need help??

Question

my mom and i were in safeway (grocery store) when someone hit her bumper..some guy gave her the license number and she called the police naturally, how long before the police find the person who hit her?

Answer 1

depends if the police check cars license plates often. it all depends on how motivated the police officer is. this kind of thing is usually one of the last things on there list to do

Answer 2

You don't say what he gave your mother. Drivers license or car license plate number. If he gave her the correct information the police will be able to track him down. It should not take long. Give them a phone call in a couple of days. Here are some items your mon or anyone needs to get if involved in an accident. Driver information (look at the drivers license), copy down name, address, drivers license number. Insurance information (name of Insurance Company, Policy number, name of Insurance Agent & phone number. Vehicle license plate number. And call the police to get a police report. Some Police agency's will not respond to a non injury accident. They will tell you to get information and bring it to the Police station to make a report. If that is the case, be sure to do it.

Answer 3

Shouldn't be long if she has the license number.  

Answer 4

OOOH if you only knew how many times someone writes down a plate number and it's not correct.  Could be just a few days or could be more.  In the meantime call the insurance company and report the claim.  Most insurance companies can also run a plate and send a letter to the responsible party.  They will also go over your coverage options.

Answer 5

With the plate number the police can run the number in the police computer and get the owners name address and car description immediately. If the owner lives out of the area they will most likely contact the local police in that area and have them contact the owner. It's hard to tell when they will get back to you with information.

Answer 6

Depends on how busy they are.  it should only take a day or so if they have the license plate number.

Answer 7

You are asking as if there were some chart we can look at that will tell us exactly when the police will find the culprit.  They will find them when/if  they find them and not one second before
