So I handed my keys to a sober friend who promptly backed into a parked car, pretty hard. No one saw it, and without thinking twice we sped off and only examined my car when we got home. I'm guessing we caused some damage to that other car, moreso than to mine, probably took out the breaklight, maybe worse. There's going to need to be a deductible paid by this poor person because I did not leave my info. If I had fessed up, I'd be paying the deductible. Now by all rights, I should fess up, but I didn't, and I feel very bad about my decision. Yet at the same time, I do not regret it. I would do the same thing over again, probably. Wow, that makes me sound horrible. But I believe I'm a good person in general...maybe it's just because I'm weak, or maybe because I only do responsible, good things when people are looking. On the flip side, someone knocked off my sideview last year without taking the blame and I wanted serious vengeance.
what's the ethical dilemma? the obvious right thing to do would be to leave contact info. but you didn't. you can either do that next time and be ethical, or not do it and feel the way you do now. it's completely your choice.
True. Maybe I'll give away a bunch of stuff to "make up for it". I do feel horrible, I actually think I would behave differently in the future now.
It doesn't matter what we think.What matters is what you think.Your answer to yourself will/should illuminate you as to your true character.
lol i think it would piss me off more if they left a note but no info. i would have left my info. someone hit my car in a parking lot and could have just driven away but they stayed and tracked me down and gave me their info. if they wouldn't have, i would've ended up paying the $500 deductible to get my car fixed and that would have sucked.
nobody should be driving expensive cars in the first place, i don't care what happens to my car its cheap and shit, so yeah as the communist revolutionary that i am i would drive away as long as i knew i was in the clear
I've driven away before after a small collision with a parked car and felt no guilt. The minute you decide, consciously or subconsciously, to drive on it's all over, the deed is done so forget about it.
