You were so lucky to be involved with a cooperative third party.
The trend these days is fi the guilty party to either drive away or intimidate the innocent party especially if it’s an elderly driver.
The hostility can kill drivers with a weak heart as shown in a recent Tv programme about unexplained deaths where underlying medical conditions can become exacerbated in conflict situations.
I heard of a case where a driver aged 75 was turning right from a queue of traffic and another car in the queue overtook three cars and hit the driver sideways and then started intimidating her and blaming her.
Getting to become the norm unfortunately as less people bother to insure. The 91 year old who ran her car into a baby and mother killing the baby wasn’t insured either as she said she wasn’t paying for a service for which she only used once a week !
What nonsense is this?
You have heard one story that may or may not be true and extrapolated that to a trend.
I've been hit a couple of times by other drivers. In both cases, they stopped and were perfectly civil about the whole thing. And no, I'm not massive and scary
As for the tragic case that you mention, said 91 was living with dementia and was not capable of making that sort of decision. You cannot correlate one case of somebody who was mentally incapacitated (and unaware of it) with 'the norm'.
