WTF ...NEITHER driver stopped after they obviously ran over a body?
I can see getting hit by one douchebag in a thousand or whatever... but when 2 people don't stop, you gotta wonder.... |

FRAK!
Poor guy. And Frak you Fraking Hateful Cagerguys. Mofos.
I was scooting down a 4-lane urban yesterday and a mofo moved over on me. Luckily I am quick on the brakes and bars, and swung left and back in a second. Honestly, be careful folks. |

I hope they find these guys and run over them a few times. Luckily, jerks tend to know someone who's decent. So I suspect that someone will rat them out soon.
You should always stop in a hit and run situation, because the majority of the time they are not going to find you at fault. My preference though is to look more than 2 ft ahead of me, so that I don't run over bodies in the road |

This particular stretch of road in Jacksonville at night is pretty pitch black (a lack of street lamps and such) My own speculation is that alcohol played a role in the drivers making the choice of running.

At least they have good descriptions of the vehicles. I hope they find 'em and I bet that they do.

How can anybody DO that? I mean really. I'm sure it was an accident but to just keep on going and not even stop to try to help the guy ... wow! I don't know how they can live with themselves!
What a waste. For the family's sake, I hope the police will find them and bring them to justice. Not much perhaps ... but it's something at least. |
