Yeah when she starts to put the bumper in through the front my only thought was “wtf is going on in that girl’s house?” Not to excuse the behavior but there’s got to be more to this story

Yeah, she was intoxicated, and if the cops got there she would've gotten a dui, went to jail, lost her license and & her grandma's car impounded instead of just damaged. 

But instead she got a slap on the wrist.

All that considered, she was correct.

The dude did not, in fact, understand. And, leaving the scene at almost any cost was her best option.

I think she got lucky or with what county she was in because most of the time a hit and run is a felony. She also got lucky she didn’t hit that dude when she backed up, otherwise he would’ve sued her probably

But he didn't, because she obviously didn't to anything to give him a good case. 

Which suggests she wasn't a monster & in good control of her faculties.

Which also suggests that she only was lucky, because she was capable of handling the situation in a way where getting "lucky" was a reasonable outcome.
