    Easement, shared driveway question

    The boat would qualify if it is in the driveway. Since rules are rules, post a sign and then call a tow truck the next time you cannot get in.

    Is it illegal to not report an auto accident?

    If you have full coverage and the damage is over 1000, I recommend turning it in to your insurance carrier. Usually your deductible is 500 anyway. If not get two estimates to repair and send him a demand letter CRRR. If no reply you can sue in small claims but all you will get is a judgment...

    Should I talk to the police?

    This can be a serious offense. Do not go in and talk to the police. Retain an attorney and let them talk to him. It will cost you up front but this is not something to fool around with.

    What to do?

    The police are not going to get involved in a family dispute like this. I suggest that you get your arrangements with your father down on paper in the form of a lease.

    Who'd win in this court case?

    Sounds like a homework problem to me. What is the Dad suing them for? There is no law that says they cannot sell to a minor, just that the contract to pay is voidable by the minor. If the 22 year old is on the note, then he is the one responsible for paying the balance. Not enough facts.
