  I have a question.  What is the law in Pennsylvania?  A few
  months back I got rearended at a stop sign by a guy who had
  no insurance.  He begged me not to call the police and seemed
  pretty scared that the police would do something to him.  Turns
  out the damage was minor and he's paying for it.  I just wonder
  if there is a law about liability or not.
