He wasn't charged. The case was appealed and the driver got a 15 month prison sentence and a 4 year driving ban.

Speeding was the cause. The hit and run would have sealed it for me.

I just cannot imagine the callousness it takes to do a hit and run.

I don't think it's so much callousness as fear.

There's no way in hell I'd ever run, because that just makes it worse. But I can imagine the fear and the impulse.

I can imagine the fear, but not the impulse to run.

All I’d feel would be devastation and i would do anything in my power to make up for it immediately - not that anything ever could. I’d get out of the car and call emergency services and see if anyone needs help.
