30 years ago in Chicago for me, nearly clipped a kid. I knew one thing - there was NO WAY I was going to stop. Spending 10 years in jail still beats the punishment that this guy got. And I’ve heard that there is a degree of sympathy for drivers that scram, providing, of course, that they call in as soon as possible and are not drunk.
Hit and run? Fine, see Ya'll in court while within 5-min I'll be at the
nearest precinct filing a report, and after I call the police otw there.
