Ben,
Please explain your reply.
The state laws always apply unless she was registered/insured in another state or the accident happened outside MI.
What state did the accident occur in ? What state was her car registered/insured in?

That would be Michigan.

I believe it was the same city as myself. The car I was driving was not insured to myself. It was registered to a friend of mine.
While doing repairs for him to keep the car on the road, this had occurred.

I had taken possession of the car after the fact. Therein became issues with the towing company etc...

EDIT:Answering a question from" rspi" Robert (cool guy) earlier in the thread, she was found at fault, and did receive a fine and suspension on her license.

There was a recent post regarding a front end accident, so I thought I would bump this for a reference as to what you may be looking at when the proverbial can of worms is opened.

this is a link to the ongoing history of this car.
