North Dakota law presumes a vehicle owner is responsible when someone driving that vehicle flees an officer's signal to stop. Officers can investigate and cite the owner instead of pursuing the driver, within 96 hours after observing the offense. The fee is $100 for a first violation and $500 for each later violation. Owners are not liable if the driver is charged or the vehicle was reported stolen before the offense or a reasonable time afterward. Owners also avoid liability by cooperating with officers to show they were not driving, or providing information showing that. If a leased vehicle was in the lessee's possession, the lessor is not liable; the lessee is presumed responsible instead. The lessor must provide the vehicle registration number and the renter's or lessee's name, address, and driver's license number. No person can be charged with both fleeing and the owner-responsibility violation for the same incident. The owner-responsibility law does not apply to rental companies renting vehicles to customers for 90 days or less.
