let me make my story short ... my girlfriends brother lives in Pennsylvania, he left to Peru a few weeks back and left his car park at his mothers house in nyc (left out of jfk)... During the weekend i decided to take the keys to go out that night..didnt tell anyone..that night my girlfriend met me a a club ..when we left i told her i had the car ..she immediately told me to take it back ..on the way back we was t-bone by a yellow cab ... i really don't recall anything from the accident .. but because i had alcohol on my breath i was charged with dwi .. now when i went to court my attorney begged me to plead guilty to a misdemeanor because i had a prior dui and she said it could turn into a Felony .. so now i plead guilty to the misdemeanor ... Now the owner of the car doesn't know this has happen yet and i didnt mention it to the police that i had taken it without permission .. and my girlfriend didnt say anything either .. but now im afraid to what can happen to her brother .. should i call his insurance and inform them i took the car without permission ... should i call him so he can call from over there .. can i place a complain against me from over there .. i really want him to be covered so his insurance covers him .. even if that means i get in more trouble .. please advise what to do thank you ... some facts my girlfriend doesnt live with her mother .. we were visiting do it almost every day ... i have driving the vehicle before but only when his mother own it .. less than i month ago she gave it to him and he took it and insured it in his state

I am not really sure on this but when I had my irresponsible brother living with me I asked my insurance company what would happen if one fo my vehicles was stolen by a family member and I am almost positive they told me I would have to report the vehicle stolen and press charges on the known person. Could be they just told me that to make sure if it did happen I would report the person.
As for PA covering the med bills, I am not too sure that will happen. My brother had a car he was buying and the insurance company refused to pay for the totaled vehichle and the med bills. He had tons of bills and collectors calling him non stop. Like I said before I am in PA and I would check, if I were you, whether the bills are really covered.

I think that question was answered many times...stupidity. Now hopefully just the actions of the person was stupid and this was a good lesson.

I think LORI put it into words that people on the Forum were thinking. Ok........you were DUI. Nothing you can do about it now. BUT...you DO have to take responsibility on what will happen next..ya know?
