It's the principle of the thing. (a small rant)

Today I was the victim of a hit and run accident. It happened at a stoplight of busy intersection. I was at a complete stop at a red light and so was the car behind me. The guy obviously let his foot off of the brake pedal and rear-ended my pristine Viggen. I got out and looked to see a small scuff and lots of little scratches in my bumper. The other driver and I agreed to pull over to the side of the road, out of the busy intersection, and exchange information. We both made the lane change and as soon as I turned the corner the guy, still behind me, dangerously cut back into traffic and took off. Rather than do something stupid like speed after the guy, I simply called the local police and made a hit and run report.
I guess the moral of the story is that sometimes people just plain suck. If you make a mistake why not fess up to it? What happened to honesty and integrity? This guy even had his wife/girlfriend in the car--what a pillar to society he is. The damage is very minor but it's damage none the less.
