  3. CARS • Do research: • On the car itself (Carfax, etc.) • The value of the car (Kelley’s Blue Book) • The cost of insurance (check with a local insurance agent) • The dealer (google for consumer comments), etc. • It is a bad idea to buy a car with another student

  4. CARS • Arizona does not have a “cooling off” period or 3-day right to cancel a car sale • It may be safer to buy a used car from a dealer because there is a warranty • Get everything in writing and read it all before agreeing to buy • Don’t buy a car unless the seller’s name is on the title

  5. CARS • For detailed information before you buy, visit this website: http://www.azag.gov/consumer/cars.html

  6. CARS • Insurance Issues • Must purchase automobile liability insurance if you own a car in Arizona • This covers any damage YOU do in an accident • It DOES NOT cover damage to your car • “Collision and Comprehensive” covers the car • Minimal coverage offers just that

  7. CARS • Good idea to buy uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage which covers injuries to you or your passenger • Is generally inexpensive • Carry proof of registration and a current insurance card in your car at all times

  8. CARS • Parking Services at NAU • Follow all parking rules • Don’t buy/borrow a parking permit • On Craig’s List • From a fellow student • Violations of parking regulations are serious and expensive

  9. ACCIDENTS • If you are in an accident: • Stop your car as soon as it is safe • Pull your car out of traffic so that it is not blocking the road • Call police

  10. ACCIDENTS • If police say that they are coming, stay at the scene until police tell you it is ok to leave • If you leave an accident, you may be arrested later on by police

  11. ACCIDENTS • Injury accident - AZ law requires: • Stop • Stay • Leaving may result in: • Felony conviction (may have immigration consequences) • Lose license for up to FIVE years

  12. ACCIDENTS • Must stay until: • Driver’s name, address and registration # given • Driver’s license is shown to injured parties, if requested • Provide reasonable assistance to injured party or get injured party to treatment, if requested

  13. ACCIDENTS • Exchange information with other driver • Name • Address • Phone number • Insurance company information • Get name, address and telephone number of all witnesses
