Hit-and-run isn’t already illegal?
April 21st, 2009 at 10:59 am
I don’t think any law is going to have any effect on something like that. The kind of attitude we see too often in drivers that take them to do something like that can only be modified through education. The recent local example I know of involves a mother hitting a teenager on the road to the nursery where her child was waiting for her. The boy was left with a broken leg and she did not stop, because she was already late for picking up her child. No fine is going to change her ‘five minutes of my toddler are far more valuable than your broken leg’ view of life. I would love to be be proved wrong, though. Will have to see what the effect of that legislation is.

“Hit-and-run isn’t already illegal?”
What they’re trying to address here is that hit-and-run is a crime of intent, in order to be convicted you have to have done it deliberately. A defense is unintentional hit-and-run: you didn’t realize you had hit something you had to stop for, since it’s only hit-and-run if you hit something that causes damage to another person or their property. What they’re trying to create here is a duty to stop and find out what it was you hit.

Our laws need to change. An act of hit-&-run should not be nullified by simply claiming ignorance. In addition, penalties for moving violations, especially when someone is hit, requires license suspension if we want our laws to be effective.

I find that strange. Why is hit and run a crime of intent? I think if you ask anyone on the street what hit and run means, they will tell you it means you hit something and kept going. What does intent have to do with it? If there is not already a legal obligation not crash into things?

I wish the driver of the semi would have stopped. He knew he hit something a normal person would go and check. That was my family member I do think a law should be passed. No jail time for an animal struck. But a person shouldnt there be some penalty.
