QUESTION: I work in the Bronx and coming back from the school where I work, I got into a car accident. I had a green light and was driving straight. The other driver, a gentile from the Bronx, failed to stop at his red light and drove into the path of my car. At first, the driver admitted that he was at fault and said he would pay for the damage. However, after a few moments, he changed his mind and said that I had been the one who had run the red light. Is there a prohibition for a gentile to lie? If there is, is it appropriate to try to convince the gentile driver to tell the truth, or is it better to just leave it to our respective insurance companies to straighten things out?...
