My daughter and I were on our way to get a birthday present for one of her friends this afternoon. As we were driving up to the intersection of Hwy 436 & 434 (Altamonte Springs, FL), a white Expedition-type vehicle clipped the right rear of a smaller vehicle, causing damage to the woman's car and possibly the larger vehicle. Did he stop to see how the woman was? No, he sped off and turned right onto 434. We ensued "at a safe speed", but the driver was intent on getting away and succeeded.
I can only hope that his conscience gets the better of him, but I doubt it. Maybe he is a student and the parents will set him straight. But if he is an adult, this may be how he conducts himself in all aspects of his life and that is sad. Your true character shows when you least expect it.
“Character is doing the right thing when nobody's looking. There are too many people who think that the only thing that's right is to get by, and the only thing that's wrong is to get caught.”
J. C. Watts
Another driver did stop to check on the woman and I pray that she is OK. And I pray for the other driver too. He needs it!
Have a blessed and safe evening....
