Today, I was driving home when a guy crashed into me from behind. I got out of my car and told him that I was going to call the cops. He then asked me if we could move to a corner because we were blocking the way, so we then got back in to move. I looked in the mirror to see him driving off. FML

Never move a car for an accident. Something simple as that can make you at fault.

Not in Texas. If you can drive your vehicle you better move it or you'll be fined for impeding traffic. And you could've always followed him.

And that would be why you always note the licence plate, before anything else (outside of injuries, of course).

I experienced that especially if it's your first accident ever, it's hard to know how to respond in the right way. Of course in hindsight you can think of everything you need to do. At that moment you are in shock and you probably forget stuff... like the licence plate... it's a lesson learn for the next time

its the year 2016 we all have phones. always photograph the accident license plates etc then move the cars to the side. it prevents issues like this and also shows the exact accident which helps prove 100% fault. if you move them with no evidence they could make up a story that goes with the damage and even get a 50/50 fault

In the future follow these steps: 1) check if everyone is oke 2) take pictures of the accident (make sure to get licence plates) 3) move cars to unblock traffic 4) call police 5) offer the other party a strong drink (try and spill a bit on their clothes) while waiting for cops.. 6) collect money

Someone did this to me recently. Depending on laws in your state you should move to not block traffic but first before even getting out, get the police on the phone and take as many pictures of the accident as you can including the license plate all while telling it to the police so that you can move out of the way and have everything already noted if the person decides to run. Agreeing to move before calling police and taking pictures gave the bastard a chance to run.

Hope you got their license plate as they drove away.... Leaving the scene of accident can put that person in some serious trouble! Bad move on his/her part. I hope that person gets caught!

I like the mixture of past and present tenses. Specifically in the first sentence.

That sucks, and I totally sympathize. But in the future, NEVER move your car after an accident until the police arrive, even if you are blocking traffic. Moving cars makes it difficult to tell who is really at fault, and I doubt you want your insurance premiums to skyrocket because of an accident that wasn't your fault! Also, try to jot down the plate number if something like this happens again and the person leaves the scene.
