[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 410460, member: 1233"] You very well may be right, AHF. It is something you need to check on. I like to cover the bases and do things legally because I know that a lawsuit would wipe us out. I also have been caught by enough people on things that many could slide by with that I am now sure that I will be caught. A couple of time I was hit by someone with-o a license and isnurance but I ended up with the ticket or whatever because they couldn't be held accountable. Later i learned that they could have, but in each case they were not because some cow'smate-excrement reason like being poor and having four kids under four (yes, I was hit by a guy who got out of even a ticket because the cop felt bad because he had 4 kids under 4 (or so he said) and no license, insurance, etc... and they would "starve" if he went to jail or got into trouble. Before the cop got there he was talking about selling his food stamps for weed to another guy who was with him in the car. GRRRRR.....) This is why I tend to call and ask what the law is so that I can at least not lose what we have. While it may be that you could be held accountable if you gave him his keys, you need to ask the cops because your son could try to come after you for stealing if you didn't give him the keys. So if a cop is there they can witness that you gave him the keys AND they can insist that he get the car towed instead of driving it. They could also impound it as being unlawfully parked if it is on your property and you don't want to deal with the entire issue. Or give you some other option, Know what I mean?? [/QUOTE]
