Sec. 3712 Abandonment of Vehicles
Bob’s care dies one day while he was driving along a back country road.
He managed to push
the vehicle off the road into a farmer’s field and called a friend on his cell phone to pick him up.
Although he wanted to ask the farmer if it was alright for him to leave the car in the field, his
friend arrived before he was able to do so.
1.
Has Bob violated any provisions of the Motor Vehicle Code?
Yes, but 75 Pa. C. S. A. sec 3353: Unattended vehicle on private property because the
vehicle is disabled.
2.
If so, what penalty if this is his first offense?
The first offense is commits a summary offense and shall, upon conviction, be sentenced
to pay a fine of $500 plus all costs of disposing of the vehicle under the provisions of ch.73.
3.
What if instead as he is leaving with his friend, Bob sees the farmer and motions that
the car is his.
The farmer gives the “thumbs up” sign.
75 Pa. C. S. A. sec 3712 States that “No person shall abandon a vehicle upon any public
of private property without the express or implied consent of the owner or person in lawful
possession or control of the property.
4.
What if in the process of pushing the car, Bob damaged some of the farmer’s corn
crop?
Any person who abandons a vehicle on private property may be ordered to pay restitution
for any damages sustained by the owner or other person in control or possession of the by real
property where the vehicle was abandoned.
5.
Bob returns later to remove the GPS device mounted to the dashboard until the car can be
removed the next day.
Has he committed the offense of “stripping an abandoned vehicle?”
No, because 75 Pa. C.S.A. sec 3712.2 states that the owner of the vehicle is an exception
to the Statute.
