Is it legal to drive with a crumpled hood?

Asked by MissAnthrope (21511points) March 8th, 2010

I got into my first car accident tonight and thankfully, everyone is okay, but I wish I could say the same about my car. It got wedged under an SUV and the hood is crumpled.

The car is perfectly fine otherwise, but I don’t want to get in trouble for driving it like that and am wondering if I can in California. I tested the hood and it seems stuck downward, not like it’s going to fly up at high speed or anything. It doesn’t much affect my view of the road, the damage is just kind of ugly to look at.
