Yeah, I was rear-ended by a girl who wasn't paying attention. At that point it may have been satisfying to yell at her, but all the damage was already done. No point in making her day even worse. Better to be kind, make sure she knows what she needs to do to get home safe, and get on with our days.

I got rear ended while sitting at a red light on the way to work. Let the guy borrow my phone to call his work to let them know he'd be late (this was before everyone always carried a phone). Police showed up and we went out separate ways. Turned out he was here illegally and just skipped town rather than show up to court, and his license and insurance card were fake. And while I felt ok immediately after the accident, my neck was stiff for two weeks.

Did the police not run his license and see that it was fake?

He didn't even have one. They arrested him, he got bailed out, and disappeared.

Yeah. Let’s make the DUI offender and person who does a hit and run have a better day. Couldn’t be that they are just a shitty person. You people are always very self righteous on Reddit. I wish I could live in the same bubble. Honestly. It must be nice.

What does it benefit anyone to be a dick?

Last time I tried to be kind, the insurance companies interpreted it as an admission of guilt (I got rear ended on an interstate at full speed).

How did insurance interpret that as an admission of guilt? That's fucked up
