Has it occurred to you that everyone "backed up" the first guy because the first thing everyone thought while reading through your post was "why the hell didn't he stop?"

This is too advanced for the OP. In his mind, he did nothing wrong so that is the only truth to this situation (other than the real truth - that he is a coward).

You were the only one who heard the dialogue between the two men, which makes you the obvious choice for a testimony. The guy in the Neon could have said the other guy's mom is a whore and likes to have midgets snort coke out of her belly-button, but that still gives the moron in the Ranger no justification to do what he did. You could have been there to report back the exact exchange between the men and give the guy who doesn't deserve this hassle a better chance at escaping any grief from his insurance company or the police. Dumbass.

Weird. I can't figure people out. Half the time when someone witnesses a crime, people here scream "mind your own business" but this time, it's the opposite. I guess it's because more people can put themselves in the shoes of the victim of the crime.

wtf ... who cares how close he was, it was at a red light? you don't "tailgate" anyone unless you are moving.

also ... what you did pisses me off. same thing happeend to my girlfriend where witnesses just drove around here and left, and instead of all the blame going on the guy who was 100% at fault, it was split 50/50 and her insurance went up and she had to pay a deductable.

Agreed.

So basically there were two credible witnesses already speaking with the two people at the scene so I didn't feel a need for more. Basically, stop skimming posts.

You should still be available as a witness - and you can still probably contct the police and tell them that you were a witness at the scene. Most likely they won't need you. But, how would you feel if someone intentionally hit you and the witnesses left the scene.

lol thanks for clearing that up for me, at first I thought you were someone worth debating this with but now I realize you just want attention. Sorry.

Debate what, you being the most credible witness leaving the scene and doing nothing to report a third party non-biased account of what happened? You know how much quicker you could make everything? I'm no lawyer, but I used to work for one who did local cases for Nationwide/allied insurance. Witness accounts are uncertain as it is, but add to that the fact that they were further away and could have slightly different stories throws a wrench into their testimony.

Unlike you, a third party who was in close proximinity and could clearly hear and see what exactly happen. Most of the bigger insurance companies, when not settling will go to arbitration. With a witness like you, the neon's insurance company could shut down the ranger's insurance company very very quickly, making everything as it should.

Way to perpetuate the stereotype that Asians guys have no balls.

Wait until the same shit happens to you one day then you will bitch about people not being witnesses on your behalf.

I think you guys are being a bit harsh. All of you are heroes on the boards, but what if a similar situation happened to you? What if some crazy looking gangbanger shot mugged another person and your family was in the car with you? You stand there for 10 mins for the cops to arrive then spend another 20 mins standing around answering questions as he studies your family's faces, your car make and model, and your plates. Now you live in fear all the time of him or his friends finding you.

I am not saying that situation is the same as the OP's but you guys are the same type of people who would advocate reporting people no matter the event. Everyone's tolerance level for fear is different.

Saying things like "You are a waste of space." is uncalled for, not to mention cliche.

I think you and the OP should go get a room together.

if somethinhg similar happend? easy i would park off to the side and wait for the cops. I would be on the phone with 911 telling them what is going on and why i am not talking to the guy.

Nobody is saying be a hero. nobody is saying go confront the guy. we are saying is act like a fucking adult and do what is right.

there are many things he could do. but he chose not to.

yes running away because he was scared makes him a fucking coward.

Where did he say he was scared? I missed that one.

because thats exactly how it looks.

"The light turned green and I took off. I didn?t want to be part of that one freaking bit"

If I have an 8:15 meeting and the clock is reading 8:12 when this happened 2 blocks from work I would drive off too. You don't just drive off only cuz you're scared. The rest of us have to get from A to B on time. If you're just driving on your shopping trip, sure.. I'd stop and deal with it, but when I have something to catch, sorry I have to be outta there.

Hahahah, thats awesome. I hate tail-gaiters, although, I'd never do something like this.

Oh yea, what does "Hispanic" have to do with anything? Why didnt you state the race of the Ranger guy?

:roll: always someone who has to bring up the race card just b/c someone used it to describe someone.

if you're so worried about him using hispanic, why not go one step further and ask why he said "guy" instead of person.

dumbsh!ts like you always have to bring up the "what does being <insert race> have anythign to do with it" because you think it makes you sound so incredibly smart and clever. You don't actually care that he used a racial description but rather you just want to bring it up for argument's sake and bring attention to your own "look at me, I'm cool" attitude. moron.

From now on, we should only use the term "carbon-based organisms" when posting threads about crimes being committed, that way we can't possibly offend anyone

Except for our new silicon-based overlords :roll:

G'damn racist

It takes 5 minutes to stop and write out your name and phone number ot give to the guy.

it takes a little longer to call the police and say i witnissed a accident at this place at this time and this is what happened.

the op did neither.

I figured that post would get a response out of you, but again you ran like a coward since you had no counter-argument and you knew what I said was true. Nice. :thumbsdown:

If you had a life altering appointment of some sort, then yes I could see leaving the scene but calling the police on the way. A meeting at work is hardly life altering in most circumstances, and most reasonable people would understand being late or missing a meeting to give your testimony to a police officer. Defend your position all you want, but logic and common sense says otherwise.

 

[JulesMaximus]

The least you could have done is given your name and number to the hispanic guy and told him that you saw the whole thing and that you'd be available if he needs a witness.

What you should have done was call the cops and report it. Basically, the guy in the Ranger assaulted the other guy by intentionally ramming him with his vehicle. What a jackass...

What you did was pretty lame. :thumbsdown:

good on you mate. i don't associate with psychopaths either if i can help it. bloody crazy that lot are.
