McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
When drivers do not stop after an accident, a not rare occurrence I suspect as well as the obvious reasons like it's a stolen or uninsured vehicle, drunk or drugged driver, there are also law abiding folk who do not stop. Some do later own up, I've often thought it's linked not just to consequences, but the adrenaline rush of our fight or flight brain wiring.
I'm not making excuses for such behaviour that illustrate a lack of moral integrity.
Spitfire:
Shocking, what happened to the rider, it looked very nasty.

Unfortunately the world is full of dangerous tossers. You have to ride defensively because no-one else is looking out for your safety. And hope that you're not unlucky and meet one of these ar#eholes in the wrong place at the wrong time.
I had a big smash nearly 20 years ago when 3 youngsters in a car tried to rush across a dual carriageway junction instead of giving way. I think the only reason they didn't drive off after the accident was because my Speed Triple put a big hole in the side of their Ford Focus, making it undriveable.
The bike was written off, of course, and I nearly was too. ☹
