    The reason that I do not believe it to be a troll, is because I am absolutely certain that there are people who do do such stupid, irresponsible and selfish things.
    :heartsmil When you find people who not only tolerate your quirks but celebrate them with glad cries of "Me too!" be sure to cherish them. Because these weirdos are your true family.

    First of all I didn't mean to Thank your post, I meant to click Quote instead. I know my sister is going to literally try and kill me when she returns. I'm kind of concerned more about myself in that regard. I know very well I will have to pay for this one way or another and that is something I fully accept. I don't understand why everyone is being so negative to me. I didn't exactly murder someone.

    And I don't know what the Foreign legion is, thought it was French anyway,

    You could well have though, had someone been standing on the corner which you misjudged (OK, death by dangerous driving - but such things don't tend to impact too much on the heart-broken and grieving families who have had a loved one snatched away from them).

    If you were MY brother and had done this, however, I wouldn't "literally try and kill you". No. I would cut off your kn*b.

    And then make you eat it.

    And some people are sad/bored/lonely enough to make up forum posts to get a rise out people!! I know where my money is on this one!

    So you can't afford to pay your sister back. What is it you want help with?

    So did you flee the scene or wait around for 2 hours? You can't have done both.
    And why did you flag a passing motorist down to change a tyre before you fled the scene two hours later? Stupid thing to do if you were drunk.

    The first thing I did was call the number. An hour or so later after someone suggested the tyre needed changing we flagged someone down. Now after waiting for around 2 hours we just decided to leave it. I call this fleddding the scence before anyone arrived etc. I wasn't even drunk for goodness sake.

    Agreed. A young man from my road was killed just before Christmas in almost exactly the same scenario (in his case drink AND drugs were involved). He was the only one who lost his life, so one could argue that he "got what he deserved". Scant comfort to his poor mother, who had to identify what was left of him - or the now guilt-stricken friends who didn't try and stop him.

    OP - REGARDLESS of whether or not you are a troll - just stop and THINK next time. And, for Heaven's sake, use protection when you're with a girlfriend; your problems need to end with you.

    Yeah, OP lost me with the drink comment too. He was doing well, but just had to push it that one step too far...

    It smelled of troll right from the start.

    . The drink issue was the main reason I fled the scene. I have no idea what the number I called was; someone I was with just said call this number and report it. I didn't think twice at the time.

    Make your mind up!

    Forgive me If I'm wrong here but I swear you can drink 2-3 drinks and be fine on the test. I had had the first drink around 3 hours before, then I prob had 1 and a half a bit later. I'm talking Fosters lager here. I really wasn't drunk at all.
