Posted by 5301 Fishbowl on Wed Jan 17 03:47:42 2007, in response to Re: He was in my class, posted by David of Broadway on Fri Jan 12 12:04:06 2007. David, while I understand your frustration due to your closeness to the victim, I think you should give the driver a bit of a break here. He did not "hit and run' like a large number of accidents occuring in recent years, and that fact suggests that the driver had nothing to hide. Most hit and run drivers want to hide the fact that they are under the influence of something, are driving with a suspended license or no insurance, or were involved in a moving violation like speeding or going through a stop sign/red light just prior to the accident. And like others who posted in this thread mentioned, the only way a driver would be able to avoid hitting a pedestrian walking in front of their car is to go 10 mph and be able to stop on a dime (similar to restricted speed on the railroad). Picture a whole city of traffic going 10 mph prepared to stop at any second. Not very practical. |
