Title: JK got hit tonight...
Post by: wtheonew on March 07, 2009, 10:59:57 PM
...and took it like a champ.  Too bad the other guy sped off.  So this brings the count to three people that have hit me and ran.  Hopefully his bumper has a nice hole from my shackle mount.  Luckily he missed the spare.  The only thing I can see is that he MIGHT have tweaked the bumper a bit.  Stupid thing was, I was sitting at a red light.

Forgot to mention, the car that hit me was a GC >:( and the guy was texting, hit me looked up, and continued texting...

Hit and run {no} grrr.

I was up in Sandy Springs.  I looked at the bumper and it turns out he just moved it in the bracket that holds it to the frame.  So nothing bent or scratched.

At the time I didn't even think about the possibility of injury, I was too pissed at the time that someone potentially hurt my baby.  But everyone's fine.  {toast}

So if anyone sees an early 2000s dark GC with a .5" x 2" hole in the right of it's front bumper want to get the license plate?  ::) Stupid Atl drivers.

A friend of a friend was involved in a hit and run last month with a Mustang. They got the dudes license plate but cops could never find him. A week or so later, saw a familiar looking Mustang parked at a strip club, and sure enough, the plates matched. Found a few chunks of concrete in the parking lot gave the Mustang the windowless treatment, lol. Just something to keep in mind ;)

at least no damage to your heep so thats good

Were you downtown? APD has a no pursuit policy is whats weird. I know its neither here nor there, but good to go!

so if you were in a hit and run else where, your allowed to start following the person?

If you follow somebody just be ready for trouble {no}. Contact the police and file with your insurance agency. For clarification on the pursuit policies, contact your local PD. Don't take my word for it.

People who hit and run should be flogged. I have a friend who was hit, the guy tried to run and got t-boned by another car in the process of trying to leave the intersection.

I had one of those hit and runs, tboned in my door and the dude took off. While he was driving off the hood flew up on his car and he kept going. I was in complete shock! I would love to find that guy someday. >:(
