- kelnos 3y agoWhile appalling, this seems to be because the law has been set up to incentivize that behavior, not because the drivers fail to realize they've hit someone and/or panic and freeze up after doing so. Quite the opposite. And people getting away with it -- even with video evidence -- seems to be an indication of police corruption. Which creates further incentive to do the wrong thing here.
