DUI Story From Yesterday

That was just an excuse for not stopping. Seriously, how dangerous is it to walk beside a highway facing traffic. You make it sound like people are putting their cars in the ditch constantly.

My point: You stop and you offer assistance. If none is needed, you carry on. Maybe there where children in that car. Maybe the driver was unconscious and his head was in a puddle of water. The point is, Umberger was there at the moment of the accident and he may have been able to save a life.
For all I know maybe the driver was having a heart attack or was being hijacked.
And he says that it?s the best thing that could have happened when he really doesn?t even know what happened. He may have found out if he would have stopped.

Obviously you and Umberger have no conscience to think that he did the right thing.

Thank you.

😀 I swear, it's like you're risking your life just walking out your front door these days. 😉

People sure are holier-than-thou. 😉

Seriously, you called the authorities not once, but twice, and people still accuse you of having no conscience. As far as I'm concerned, you were ahead of the scene of the accident, so you didn't have any moral responsibility to stop, and that would fall to people who were behind/beside the guy in the explorer.
