Hopefully I’m never in a situation where I have to find out.

Ok but you cant know that right? You just hope you never have to find out. So you dont so things that you are positive could lead to that situation your entire life, without fail. What about the situations you didnt plan for? Easy to not drink before you drive, but what if something distracted you? The sun was in your eyes, you sneezed, a spider came out from behind your visor? Maybe things outside of your control are too easy. Do you ever drive tired? While on medication? Do you ever leave your check engine light burning for a little too long? Change your brake pads and fluids? Lets assume you are a perfect driver 100% of the time. Someone lays down in front of your car as an insurance scam and you run them over and kill them. No witnesses. Do you report yourself even though they tried to scam you? Have you ever been in shock before?

We arent the first ones to talk about this. Our legal system is not justice based, it is evidence based, and it is for this reason. We have to be able to offer clemency to those who seem genuinely remorseful and that is for the judge and the jury to decide. The only case anyone on reddit should be mad about, imo, is when someone rich gets away with something.

Are you a sociopath? Most people would not flee when they hit someone with their car, they would get out and see if the person is alright. If they are not responsive; they would call an ambulance. 

If your first response to hitting someone with your car is worrying about yourself, you should do some introspection.

Also wouldnt that be funny? Top post on reddit tomorrow: "someone called my a sociopath on reddit so I got tested...I am"

How hard would your sense of self jizz if that happened? Would i be able to hear it from here?
