Just saw on the news that a Learner driver is out on bail after a Hit and Run injuring a 2 year old...WTF?

The news didn't say who it was and who that person is related to. But that's not right.

So what's the context? Did he turn himself in?

Some people panic when accidents happen and they just drive. It's the flight or fight response, so depending on the circumstances it could be the appropriate way to go about it.

@MartinTheFirst NO he ran away like a pathetic criminal he is, the police arrested him at home

@nedkelly then how did they figure out who it was?

nedkelly · 61-69, M

@MartinTheFirst I believe he lives in the same street

MartinTheFirst · 26-30, M

@nedkelly So how was he caught?

nedkelly · 61-69, M

@MartinTheFirst police arrested him at home

MartinTheFirst · 26-30, M

@nedkelly and how did they know it was him if it was a hit and run? Did someone see him speeding away?

nedkelly · 61-69, M

@MartinTheFirst must have and noticed the make and model of car

MartinTheFirst · 26-30, M

@nedkelly So we don't know how he was caught? isn't it possible then that he called them and turned himself in?

@MartinTheFirst I doubt it if the police went to his house

Okay. The police got a description of the car. He dumped it and they later found it. It was not stolen it seems. But he was a 20 plus YO driver, in the car alone without learner plates on. And the B@$t@rd walked out on bail while the toddler is in hospital in an induced Coma. Something is seriously wrong with our legal system.@MartinTheFirst

@whowasthatmaskedman He dumped his car?! lol wow yeah he seems like a dangerous and disturbed individual. Possibly seen too many crime shows.

He is certainly not the sharpest tool in the set.. But why should the community have to put up with people like that at all? He has demonstrated how little regard he had for others.@MartinTheFirst

One of the problems we have in the criminal justice system is lack of beds. This is caused by another problem of the system which is locking up people for relatively minor crimes. I'm not talking about this case, but others where community interventions would be more appropriate.
