EP63 DMV Justice
What do you do when you encounter an accident with an incompetent motorist? On today's episode, Richard Duquette discusses DMV Justice. Listen to his insights on how the Department of Motor Vehicles can help, and understand how you can proceed with your case.
Dealing with an Incompetent Motorist
In bicycling, you could encounter motorists who are suffering from dementia or Alzheimer's. Or, they may simply be old and decrepit.
Many do not want to give up their independence and driver's license. The DMV can help you if you are following a fatal or serious accident. They can investigate and demand for reexamination.
Gathering Strong Evidence
When you encounter such cases, gather evidence. You can download the video from your bike camera.
Print screenshots of the motorist's behaviors. It is also better if you have a picture of the driver and his license plate. All these help establish the body of the alleged crime.
Cooperating with the Department of Motor Vehicles
You may contact the DMV if the driver doesn't have mental or appropriate skills. Send them a letter with the evidence you've gathered.
Once they are aware, that's the time that they take action. They may demand and issue a priority examination.
