Paris Hilton is in trouble after hitting a parked car in Los Angeles and speeding off without leaving a note.Unfortunately for her the footage was caught on video by a quick-thinking video cameraman.
Would you/ have you hit a car an drive off if no one was about? I'll be first to confess I did once hit a parked taxi in a carpark and drove off without leaving a note.

My conscience wouldn't let me! I would hate it to happen to me.
Assuming I had actually caused physical damage of course.

I have not driven for over twenty years but I would not drive off because it has been done to my husband and it cost us a lot of money.
This is similar to my argument for the lost money.
Do unto others......
I am not religious either.

It may sound smug.
I simply think that we should treat people the way we wish to be, whenever we can of course.

A guy at work said he once ploughed into a car across the road from a bus stop full of people. He got out, as everyone was watching and took out a notepad and pen.
He wrote: 'dear driver I have hit your car and as I am being watched by a crowd of people I am writing this note so as to appear to be leaving my name and adress, which as you see I have not.'

I don't think it sounds smug. It's a sound ideology.

Another urban myth. Everyone knows someone who that has happened to.

It's never happened to me but if I hit a taxi or other commerical vehicle I would probably not leave a note unless I thought I might be on camera. I would leave a note if I did visible damage to another car. I might think twice if the car I hit was sticking out over the white lines though.

I once reversed into an old banger 
It had loads of dents so i did drive off. But to be honest, unless i was being watched I'd probably scuttle off. Someone bashed my bumper the other day, and it was my shiny new Nissan micra 
so what goes around blah blah blah...
But today I was in the carpark, and because people are lazy arses and can't be bothered to take trolleys back to the right spots, a trolley ploughed into the back of a parked car. How bad is that!
