“In view of recent events in our communities and through the nation, we are at an inflection point in our history.

What To Do in a Hit-and-Run Collision
A hit-and-run collision refers to any time the other driver leaves the scene of a collision without providing his/her name and insurance information. If you can identify the other vehicle by license plate, you can file a claim with the other driver’s insurance company. If you cannot identify the other vehicle by license plate, you may be able to file a claim with your own insurance company if you have purchased the appropriate coverage (see discussion below). Whether you were in your vehicle at the time, or whether your vehicle was parked when it was hit, the following information will help in handling these claims.

Bicycle Safety is for Everyone

Senior Driver Safety
Driving means independence and we all want to continue to drive as long as we can. Senior drivers tend to be among the safest drivers on the road mainly because of their experience and general risk avoidance. However, as we age, some of us may notice changes that affect our driving ability to the point where our driving may be unsafe. DMV wants the public to be aware that we should talk to the seniors we love about their driving skills and safety.
