Default Hit and Run ...but..

So I was standing in front of a friends house today having a conversation when I heard a 'whack' coming from the street near my car. I saw an old pickup with a camper driving by, and I originally thought something had fallen over inside his camper cuz thats what it sounded like. Unfortunately for this guy I decided to run over to my car just in case, and sure enough there's damage!
So I peel out after him and catch him a few blocks away where he pulls over. As soon as I step outta my car he takes off again! I almost couldn't believe my eyes! I took down his license plate number and continued following him, but once he realized that I was following him he tried to lose me! He kept weaving in and out of traffic and going down side-streets. I decided to call a cop buddy of mine as I'm chasing this guy thru New West, he told me to stop chasing him cuz if he crashes he can sue me saying that he was scared that I was gonna hurt him (which I wasn't gonna do *cough cough*) or something. I decided to lay back until the guy made it home. When he came out it looked like some crack-junkie..
Anyways, I filed a police report and called the insurance company and will see what happens, but have his addy in my back pocket just in case.. Its f***ers like this that **** me off when I work hard for the what I have and they think they can get away with BS like this.

That sucks. Him suing you after fleeing the scene of an accident? I love the criminal justice system that seems to give the criminals more rights than the law-abiding citizens

Wtf man....I just hope that guy has insurance, by the way you make it sound, seems like that **** wouldn't have insurance anyway.

Not to go off topic, but I hate "not until proven guilty" shouldn't it be the other way around? Shouldn't they have to prove their innocence (sp) instead of us having to prove them guilty?

looks like every thing is salvagable on your end, good job on picking up his plate number that will definitely help. good luck on what ever happens, hope you light a fire under his ***!!
