A follow up to my earlier posted question. Can the registered owner of a car be held responsible for a yelling incident that did not involve any physical harm to the person or car, no accidents between vehicles, and no threats towards either party? The incident involved a verbal yelling match that lasted a few seconds and then ended with the driver, driving off. The driver was not the registered owner (relative of the registered owner). I know in some cases the registered owner can be held liable, but is this one such case? Can the registered owner be compelled to incriminate her relative? This sounds so absurd writing this because there were no damages to either car nor personal harm (he alleges a heart condition and was scared that resulted in elevated blood pressure that he claimed could have killed him...but obviously didn't and the driver had no way to know that so no malicious intent or pre-meditation with intent to harm).
WHY DON'T YOU REFER THIS MATTER TO THE BARANGAY. GOOD LUCK TO YOU.
