Ok, I have a previous record of an OUIL here in Michigan. Several days ago I was in an accident. I drove my car approx. 20 feet and parked it and then proceeded to check the damage to my car and the sign that I had hit. 6 minutes later the police arrived(I have a copy of the report). I was charged with driving on a suspended license, which I readily admit too. Then I received a leaving the scene charge, and an MIP. I am 20 and do not think I should be charged with this MIP and leaving the scene. First of all, my car wasn't stopped by this sign, so parking it in the middle of the road wasnt feasible. So I parked at my friends appt, which was approx 20 feet away. I was in a state of semi-shock from getting in an accident to begin with, so I didn't even think about calling in to report this. When I was hit by a car's lights (about 5 mins after) I snapped out of it and started to walk towards my friends house to call. The car turned out to be police officers. They had me stop and asked me some questions. The officer only asked for my insurance information and didn't ask for my license the whole time. I later got a copy of the report and it says the officer gave me a PBT and I blew a .07 which is completely false. I never had to take a PBT for this incident. The MIP was from a can of been in my cupholder in my car. My questions are, is 6 minutes enough time to constitute leaving the scene? I barely had any time to call anyone let alone report this, and also could I get an MIP for the beer being in my car, even though I wasn't in the car at the time?
