This is long but important. Please read on. In light of Troy's accident (he was hit by a car), I want to pass along a couple items that might be useful later. License plates are public records. You can request info on any car, you just need a legitimate reason: in Troy's case, they might owe him money. The request form is here: http://www.dol.wa.gov/forms/200025.pdf (If it's an out-of-state car, you need to get it from that state agency.) You can also report unsafe drivers in Washington. That form is here: http://www.dol.wa.gov/forms/520005.pdf Relevant info is here: http://www.dol.wa.gov/ds/UnsafeDrivers1.pdf If you get hit, (1) contact your own insurance carrier and (2) get a police report. It doesn't matter how nice the driver seems. If you do everything right, you won't get in trouble for somebody else's mistake. Best, James Westphal .
