It's a minor car wreck, not an assault on his wife or anything. Why the **** would he want to make a minor situation into a major one? Seriously, you're a father? I'd probably wanna chase him down too, but I'm not going to put my wife or others in harms way in my "pursuit" over a car accident. A car is repairable, a life is not. Dude could have a gun or another weapon, not worth it, so please quit with the trolling, there's no way one can be this ignorant.
I don't see how bars can be punished. How would bars know if the people they sold alcohol to did not get a taxi or have a friend pick him/her/them up?
She will have to pay a deductible to her insurance company. The car will probably be totaled if the damage is anything like I think it is. If she has uninsured motorist insurance the deductible will be less and the accident will not be on her record.
You keep asking questions, so I will answer you: Let HIM be the judge of that. Was it a minor car wreck, Stern? So the illegal and now double criminal (trespassing into the U.S. of A. and now leaving the scene) could be thrown out of the country. Yes. I'm not going to put up with people running into my car and not paying for it. Anything else you want to ask?
It's Friday, I think people are taking things a little too seriously especially from SwoL. I think SwoLy was trying to bring a little levity to the situation.
I do think a bartender can lose their TABC license if they serve someone that they know is intoxicated.
^ This is correct. They have to be VISIBLY intoxicated and the bartender or bar personnel must at least make notice that they know the patron is.
Yes, why do you not want me to change my nic? As for the rest of your tirade, JFC. You're so manly! lol
You're acting like an ass. but in response to your question i would describe it as more than minor. I believe her car is totaled. Plus she knocked down a wooden power line pole. Either way I’m much more rational than to chase down a man and leave behind my girl. Did you read the part where the police took 40 minutes to arrive at the scene? Actually no need to respond. Have a good day sir.
^ I see you like calling people names. Why do you even like doing that? Anyway... she's not liable for that wooden pole. You know what? I'd be rational enough to stay away from a man that just wrecked my girl's car, while still knowing where he went. You don't necessarily have to be close to him. Stay on the phone, let the dispatcher know where you're heading, your location, etc., while watching him. If he had a gun, knife, or whatever, you would have already found out by then. How would I be able to tell whom to nag or irritate? I can't keep up with so many targets ! What is this, a g*ngbang?
If the car is totaled - she loses anyway. Insurance only pays for the value of the car, not the replacement cost of the car. If its not totaled, her care will ge worth less now because of the accident. Its a financial no-win situation. Especially since he was illegal - she probably won't see a dime from him because its very hard to recoup from an illegal alien in these types of scenarios. I feel for you pal, I've been in 3 accidents since I've moved to North Texas - NONE of them were my fault and NONE of them had insurance. One of them was drunk he sped away - and even though he was ordered to pay us back at $50 a month, we never got anything and he ended up going to jail. When someone doesn't make much in the first place, or is paid in all cash, you can't recoup costs. In no way am I saying that illegal aliens are all bad or anything like that - just my personal experiences with the 3 wrecks I've had with Illegal Immigrants. As a matter of fact, a pathway to immigration could help the non-insurance and pay problems. Their wages would increase because contractors wouldn't be able to pay them under the table so easily, and it would be easier for them to get insurance because they would have the proper papers etc.
Based on the quoted responses, this is a good example of why I have swoly on ignore. Zoey's has nothing to do with your wreck.
You can't detain someone over a traffic accident. And if the person is fleeing and you give chase, and the person is injured in the process... you will be the one getting sued, not the driver who hit and ran. Just sounds like you nit-picking the situation, and considering this is Houston, and EVERYONE and their grandmother has firearms... i seriously doubt trying to detain someone is the brightest idea. But, you have super-powers and you can never be hurt...apparently
Swoly is really a super-hero crime fighter...he does this on a regular basis and knows exactly what to do. He needs to be commissioned by the city of Houston to fight all crimes, that way we can cut the budget of our police department and save money, since swoly has the answers for everything... All Hail Swoly
