What will happen if my wife left the scene of an accident with another driver but returned within 15 minutes?
She gave the excuse that she went to a nearby parking lot to calm our children down (5 and 1 years old). She actually was scared and I had to convince her over the phone to go back. She received a 12 point ticket for leaving the scene of an accident. She also received a 4 point speeding ticket 3 days earlier which can be mailed in for a 2 point reduction. She’s likely to get her license taken away unless the 12 point ticket is reduced to 9. How likely is it for this to happen?
