Whatever issues this driver
Whatever issues this driver may have with their license, vehicle registration, and/or insurance, or perhaps an outstanding warrant, is minuscule compared to hitting a pedestrian on a bike and leaving the scene.
Hopefully their conscience eats them up to the point of turning them self in.
Glad the bicyclist is ok!
Glad the bicyclist is ok! Must have been very frightening. Whoever hit him, has NO conscience. What a shame.
I m betting that mirror is
I m betting that mirror is not missing glass anymore, wish we had more to look for old car rusty car sometimes people just (%$#@)!.
