    I managed to get a licence plate!

    Hah! *crows and punches the air*

    I came across a car accident today - no injuries, but the car left behind was pretty smashed up - and the culprit driver was headed down my way, on the WRONG side of the road, nearly ran right into me, and just DROVE OFF! I stood staring after him, and then thought - hey - licence plate.

    I got it! Hah! Not perfectly, but it should be good enough for them to catch the *mumble-mumble* idjit. Poor little 6 yr. old in the car left behind was in shock and crying, he had no idea why someone would want to wreck their car and run away

    WOW! I'm so glad that you weren't hit!! I'm sure the other motorist will be thankful for your ability to get the plate number. Congradulations on being safe and being resourceful enough to get useful info

    Good job LPH.

    Do you think the martial arts training is part of that - being able to keep your head?

    Good job, LPH! You're a crime fighting commuter!
    What a creep- hit and runs always make me cranky. Own up to your mistakes (and then to almost hit you, too- sheesh!).

    Glad you got the partial plate and hopefully they'll come to the house for a little "visit." (insert evil laugh here)
