Why do People do it?

Kia Ora,

Why do people do it? That is get involved in an accident then run!

In the last two days with the bad weather there have been two hit & run accidents.

True the first person was wanted by police, realized they were turning to chase him, but once he knocked down an 80 year old woman you would think the crimes would be in the back of his mind.

Initial reports were the police weren't even in sight.

But then I suppose you can't expect that much these days after reading that burglars had twice hit a community groups shop. They are only trying to help people.

Then this morning comes the report of a cyclist killed in a hit & run on the outskirts of Christchurch.

With the weather over the last few days you would think people would be heeding the police call to drive to the conditions.

I didn't even have to go far to see bad driving. Heard someones brakes then a vehicle sliding & bang. Right outside the office. Most people would of looked at the young guy who was driving the highpowered car as a bad driver & most do take this corner too fast (50 km area but many approach at a 100kmh & in dry weather you see all the brakes go on), only this time the vehicle he hit was on this side of the centre line, as the vehicles coming the other way are usually speeding too & keep cutting the corner.

No injuries but really one for the police to sort out as sure each side would think the other is in the wrong.
