So the owner of the Toyota gets cited for something that never should have happened. A unlicensed 14 year old who failed to register his moped never should have been on the road. These kids on these mopeds are all over the city driving erratically yet you get into an accident with them you may be cited. The city has done nothing to get these bikes off the street. Toyota driver should get legal advice just saying
