"look what I saw today, that's ligit shit right there." reads the Facebook caption. it's so sad no one called 911 or something. People today so self absorbed its ridiculous.

"1 like = 1 prayer for the driver

My post messed up. -_- I would suspect that's what the caption would be for the picture on Facebook.

I didn't expect to come on FML and learn something today, and somehow I did.

Not hard to prove if theres a facebook update less than a minute after the crash and before the 911 call. There have been a couple prosecutions in Canada of people who took fb/twitter pics and drove away.

(I am not a lawyer and this is not legal advice) That depends. Whether there's a duty for the average person to stop and render aid in an accident in which you are not personally involved varies by state. If you're in a profession that's expected to have medical or first-aid knowledge (e.g. medical doctor, nurse, first-responder), as far as I know, you have a special duty to stop and render aid because of that knowledge even if you're not on-duty, out of your jurisdiction, etc. That said, how much goddam effort is it to call 911 and call it in?

#62 I know as a lifeguard I must respond emergencies regardless if I am on the clock or not.

62, I think in Texas at least, if you are right behind a car accident you are required to go help or call 911. They teach you that in driving school.

Holy shit moderators **** off!!

You're! No I'm kidding, but I hope op is okay

Oh sorry, you're*. sometimes i can be so Stupid, OP- i hope you're okay, and that you, or someone eventually called the police or ambulance, i would of had a stress or a panic Attack if that happened to me. it's great you're brave and obviously not to shook up or injured.

Traffic would still suck from the Jackasses taking pics tho. There was a rollover on Hwy 2 in Red Deer yesterday and the other side of the highway was at a crawl as people slowed down to take pictures.

Especially when you are.

Please explain in explicit detail how 28 is being an a-hole?

92 - I think they were adding to the comment.., "Karma's a bitch when you are."

reading this actually got me pretty angry. people are messed up.

They've done tests about this very thing. They placed someone in a busy part of town and had them fake being hurt. Then they recorded how many people stopped. They even studied to see if what the actor was wearing affected how many people stopped... It did.

I've read about this study. There were also tests about how people would react to a violent, jealous "boyfriend" berating a woman in the middle of a restaurant. All of whom were actors, but dress definitely made a difference in how others not aware of the scene reacted. Same with an angry mother abandoning her children on a city sidewalk.
