If that were to happen, drivers would have a valid excuse to flee the scene of an accident. Can you imagine everyone's reaction on this board if the driver, fearing for his or her safety, had peeled out leaving the poor kid to die? The police exist to enforce the LAW, not turn people over to a lynch mob.
