I've had a person who rear ended me so hard at a red light that she pushed me into the truck in front and destroyed my car. Even left her license plate on my tailpipe. She ended up fleeing for "reasons". Because I didn't have video evidence of her driving, the police and insurance just gave me a unemphatic shrug when I reported it. Thankfully I had uninsured motorist coverage. What a fking racket.

Right people always assume hit and run, driving without insurance, all that shit has huge consequences.

I rarely see that be the case. Which is why people will keep doing it.
