If You Ran Someone Over Would You Keep Going?

Imagine you're driving home one night and you see a drunk coming towards you looking very unsteady on his feet. Somehow he manages to stumble and fall, right into the path of your car. You run him over and it's almost certain that it's curtains for the drunk.

What would you (honestly) do in this situation?

1) Pull over, give CPR like you're Vinny Jones and call 999, and stay with the victim.

2) Check to see if he's dead. If he isn't dial 999 and drive off. If he is, drive off.

3) He was a drunk, what do you care? You put your foot down and don't even look back.

I would stop, call the ambulance and say he fell infront of my car and i couldn't stop.

I.E the truth.

1) obviously.

Anyone who says 2) or 3) is a liar or a scumbag.

Natasha out!

im going to play devils advocate here...

id just keep going and leave the bastard to die, id make sure i cleaned the blood/cerebral fluid off my windscreen as soon as i got home and make sure I had an alibi...

Who's the drunk?

There is a reason for this thread.

A friend of mine was in this situation a couple of weeks back. She chose number 1. Ok, she didn't give CPR but she called 999 and the ambulance came within 10 minutes. The guy was seriously hurt and was in surgery for hours. But he survived with no long term damage.

Anyway, she gave her version of events to the police and they assured her she did everything right and there would be no further action.

Two weeks later she gets a visit from the police and is to be charged with dangerous driving. The drunk claims he was on the path when my friend hit him, and also claims he'd only had one pint.

My friend has a lawyer who says it's a crock and is 100% confident the CPS won't pursue the issue, purely because it's her word against his - and he has admitted to drinking alcohol.

But it makes you think that she'd have been better just driving off.

4) Run over him again to make sure he's dead. No point having him around to traumatise someone else by stumbling infront of their car while drunk.

Haven't you missed a stage?

Should you not hit him with an ironingboard before putting them in the boot?

I feel a wheel brace would be more appropriate in this situation.

what are the chances of you having an ironing board in your car?

You check to make sure he,s dead, take a photo as proof for his wife then collect your fee.

I'm sorry mate I was just trying to be funny - it was supposed to be a reference to the 'I am in love with a prostitute' thread.

If you've never read it before then you should, there's some gems in there!

i have a quick look from time to time...

id stick my 2p worth in...

I once was sat on a crowded train on the west coast mainline and there was a guy stumbling along the carriage. He was falling into people and slurring his words, fumbling around in his coat pockets and quite distressed it appeared.
People pushed him along the line of seats calling him all sorts of names, disgusted by his behaviour until he fell towards me. He was next to me and I asked him if I could help him up. He slurred something about his coat and after looking in his pockets I found a chocolate bar. I opened it and gave it to him. It turned out he was a diabetic and was in need of sugar urgently lest he fall into a coma.

Just a thought, if you'd hit him with your motor would you have driven on? You'd have been under the assumption he was a drunk and therefore for some reason not worthy of consideration possibly?

good lad...

I myself have a close friend who is insulin dependant diabetic and went hypoglycaemic on me one day...its pretty scary, they become nasty and wont have anything if you let it get to bad, I ended up literally pinning her down and getting flat coke (that id shaken to flatten) in one of my babies bottles in her gob before finding her insulin...

genuine story, scary as fuck!

Did I say the guy was a diabetic? No I did not. He was drunk, not looking for someone to feed him a packet of jelly tots.
