For a while last night I couldn't sleep due to thinking about this whole incident again. I had forgotten how much of a tosser the driver was. For about 30 minutes I was lying there fantasizing about what retribution I would have meted out to that worthless twat, given the chance. Nothing though can make up for the irrepreable damage and pain he caused.
The reality is that people can die in car accidents through nobody's fault, that's a fact of life. But this bloke had never had a license, banned from driving, no insurance (obviously), 30 past motoring offences, high on coke and 2 other drugs, out of prison that week for possession of a machete, doing 60mph in a 30 zone and to top it all tries to run off when he hit the family. That's not your run of the mill knob, that's a genuine lifelong scummy crim. I would be ashamed to know that guy.
Fact is that if any of us had taken the law into our own hands and given him the thrashing he deserved (or worse), we'd probably find ourselves in court with a conviction, thus harming our own life prospects. Despite how angry we all are, the right thing was what happened I.e. criminal proceedings leading to long term jail.
One thing I know for sure, if I was that little piece of shit I'd have killed myself years ago.
