Came upon an interesting situation the other day. As I came up to a light at the interchange of a highway and a secondary road, I saw a car backing towards the intersection on my side. At first I thought it was someone who missed the on-ramp as was stupidly backing up instead of going down and turning around. However, it was more interesting than that.

The car backed up about 100', made a 3-point turn in the middle of the road on my side, then proceeded to casually roll through the red light at the interchange she had just blocked. I couldn't figure out what was going on until I saw another car pulled over with its flashers on a few hundred feet down, with another woman waving at the car that just left.

Seems the car that left had made an illegal lane change, hit the car that was now stopped, pulled over, the driver got out and looked at the damage (extensive on the stopped car), then did a cut and run. From the casual nature of how she did it, I don't think it was her first rodeo.

Don’t know about your area but there is so little enforcement here I suspect about 30 % have no license , insurance etc. running is becoming sop.
They're pretty hard on it here, which makes me think the runner had so many hits on her policy that she didn't want to take another.

Hello; Been recording a program called ROAD WARS. Have seen a number of hit and runs on the program. Crazy stuff. May be time to have a video recorder when I drive.

Give a copy to the police to try and help that victim out. It's a good deed for the day.
I waited for the police to arrive, got the business card of the responding officer, and emailed the video file to him that morning.

Not sure how much help it will be to the victim, though. In MA, you tend to be on the hook if you can't show who hit you, not just that someone else did hit you.

The title of this post is great. I immediately clicked on it. You should write for an online news site... unless you already do. The content didn't disappoint either. Thank you.

Not an excuse...

Hello; OK I missed whatever it was that put Demon off.
I missed it too, looks like there is an edit on his post.
I thought the title was clever.
Maybe it's just over my head.
