Question Posted Saturday November 19 2005, 8:23 pm
Well, last week, I got into a car accident. It was just me driving.
This guy was drunk, and speeding. He ran a red and smashed in the front of my car. He hit me, and then he ran. His plates were from April of 2004!
The policeman came back, telling me that he didn't catch him, but it is my fault, and they are going to send me a citation in the mail.
Should I go to court? Or just pay off the money..
It's not fair that he hit me.. and then ran, and didn't get punished, but I did. Now, I have to pay 500 dollars to fix my car, ontop of the citation...

You shouldnt have to pay for the fine..or the car.. the guy that hit you should.. and im sure they will beable to find this person.. cuz he will pretty much be the only one driving around with a smashed in front end.. So I would def go to court..
