uh, why not? Just because you are on private property doesn't mean you're legally protected from lawsuits when you destroy someone else's private property.

If someone can fall and hurt themselves on someones private property, then sue the owner of that property, i don't see why you can't sue this guys *** for being unable to see a PARKED CAR.

Why in god's name would you SUE someone over something that's already being fully covered by insurance? Ugh.

Bummer. What an *** - like he didn't feel or hear that kind of impact?



^^^ you don't think some D-bag that tries to hit & run deserves to be nailed to the wall?

To teach the a-hole a lesson about NOT fleeing an accident scene.

It's irrelevant, though, since the guy didn't actually have the chance to leave.

So glad you caught him.

Hey, any of you older people… is this "hit & run" thing much more common today, compared to, say, 30 years ago? Sometimes I wonder if adults are way less mature and responsible today—but maybe this is the way it's always been.

At 31 I probably don't fit the bill for "old" (I hope lol.), but considering the fact that people in general struggle to even be polite to each other on a daily basis (on the roads & off), I'd have to guess it's much more common.

Yeah, truck drivers are a good reason for gas to go to $7 a gallon for a year or so. Will clean those trucks off the road nicely.

I need to use the 8's 'super handling powers' avoiding large trucks way too often.

I may as well ride a bike. Which at $7 a gallon, I might need to do!
