Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
Glad you got an update. I'm betting the owner of the vehicle can't provide proof of sale and that combined with the fact the policy was still active forced him to accept liability.

That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.
When you sell a vehicle, first you remove and retain the plates registered to you... next, you immediately go online and remove that vehicle from your insurance.
Apparently the vehicle owner did neither, lied about selling it, and allowed an unauthorized person to operate same. That makes him, and his insurance provider, 100% liable. Since it was a hit & run with a police report filed, that case is a slam dunk.
Wow, seriously? That's kinda useless....

It's CDOT. Are you really surprised?
Several years ago I sold a minivan. I left the plates on because they were almost expired, and the buyer asked if he could use them to get home. I had a signed bill of sale and cancelled the insurance. Seven months later I got a ticket from Florida from a red light camera, my old minivan, still with the expired plates. I was able to use their photo to show the tags were expired and send them a copy of the bill of sale to get out of it. Always take your plates. They can get home with a bill of sale.
I am glad to hear the insurance admitted fault.
Report Release of Liability online at: https://www.mydmv.colorado.gov/_/#3
Use this request to voluntarily report an ownership transfer for your vehicle. You will need your license number and VIN number or the verification code from your registration receipt.
Pursuant to C.R.S 42-6-109(3), created with Senate Bill 18-073, a person transferring ownership of a vehicle may voluntarily notify the Department of Revenue, Division of Motor Vehicles within five days of transfer of ownership. This notification serves to remove the seller's liability for the buyer's actions involving the vehicle after the sale is complete. Information entered into this system is available to law enforcement agencies.
Vehicle owners are still required to sign their title over to the new vehicle owner and the seller should remove their license plates before completing a motor vehicle sale.

FWIW - If you get hit near an RTD bus (and the other driver lies about the circumstances) you may be luckily enough to get their video if you know the nearest stop, time, bus #…..
That’s what I’m guessing. Couldn’t provide proof of selling, and also didn’t want it removed from their insurance.

What would be the purpose of recording for CDOT? Storage would be a waste of taxpayer funding. All traffic operations is chatged with is managing live traffic.
But, on another point, do you really want to live with the government recording your movement? Sounds like China...
