Eh. Depends on a bunch of things. Usually it just adds the 'fleeing the scene of an accident' charge on there, but it also can be a sign of bad faith. Often drunk drivers will flee because the charge added on is less than the drunk driving charges. Of course if you're a celebrity and nobody really got hurt, it doesn't really affect anything.

Didn't they run a red light to get away, too?

That's some drat fine schadenfreude.

I'm not that familiar with how US traffic laws work, but if it's anything like it is here, I'm guessing the driver fleeing turns it from a minor infraction to something much bigger?

On one hand getting in a fender bender like that usually results in no infraction they fact that they ran probably points to the driver have no insurance/registration/license which would be a big problem.

Didn't some study in the last 5 years say that they thought cats just saw their humans as large cats that were bad at hunting? Why would they be freaked out by just a larger cat face? Or do the cats think they themselves have human faces? :catdrugs:

Probably it's just the fact that it's a giant unfamiliar face with giant creepy intimidating staring eyes that's suddenly all up in their poo poo, and it freaks them out. Then again, cats also are scared of vegetables, so who the gently caress knows.

Cats aren't scared of veggies. They're just startled because the food dispenser human just put that there while they're focused on eating and not paying attention to what's going on around them.

My old cat, who still lives in canada, used to steal whole steaks if you didn't keep guard over them. It was hilarious watching a kitten dragging a steak bigger than he was down the hall. No one really knows how old he is anymore but he's deaf, blind and got hit by a car a while ago because he was asleep behind its tire and was too deaf and blind to realize it turned on. He survived and is okay, well as okay as an old fat rear end in a top hat cat can be. He's definitely over fifteen and that's all we can agree on.

Um, I guess this isn't really Schadenfreude but I think it deserves a place here-

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-australia-34773280

quote:

A Swedish man has died and another has been seriously injured in a shopping trolley accident in Sydney, Australia.
Police say the men, both 28, found the trolley and were riding it down a steep hill in the eastern suburb of Randwick just after midnight when they hit a car coming the other way.
The man who survived had just arrived in Australia - he remains in hospital and police said he could face charges.
The trolley had reached speeds of up to 80km/h (50mph), said police.
"The male that was in the shopping trolley was catapulted out landing in a kerb," Det Supt Gavin Dengate told local media.
"Unfortunately we all know what shopping trolleys are like, and they are very difficult to control [it's] very very tragic."
He said riding in a shopping trolley "must be one of the most dangerous things you can do".
The 45-year-old driver of the car, who was not injured, tested negative for drugs and alcohol.

Both 28 year old men- sheesh - at least teenagers have an excuse.

Never realized they had that kind of reach. But then again, I've never thought it was a good idea to pick up a snapping turtle the size of a frisbee.

I had almost that exact same thing happen to me. Found a big snapping turtle in the middle of the road, picked it up so it wouldn't get run over. Fortunately, I was holding it near the back, hands on either side of it's tail. It whipped its head around to bite me, and missed by what had to be less than an inch. Somehow I didn't drop it but now when I see a turtle in the road I give it the finger.

Your finger is exactly what they want by the sounds of it.
