I got hit when I was running over 20 years ago. I was pretty young(22) and it scared me so bad I ran away. It looked to me like the people in the car were laughing, and it was a small Virginia town. Think "deliverance". I got harassed all the time. I think it was their fault because I had the light in my favor at the intersection. I should have chosen stunt work because of the way I saved myself from serious injury. I think a person can react very much unlike themselves in a situation as stressful as hitting someone, but I would personally be mortified if I hit someone even if it wasn't my fault.
