You have no idea if they are seriously hurt yet, but you know you were going at least 35 mph and you know something has got to be damaged.
    So the question is...and be honest...which one of these 3 thoughts is most likely to go through your mind FIRST?
    1. "Oh shit, that drunk asshole probably just dented my hood or fucked-up the front of my car, which I just detailed by-the-way. Now Im going to have to get all this shit fixed before the NOPI show next weekend! What a shithead this guy is."
    2. "Oh shit, this drunk asshole just walked right out in-front of me, and now Im probably going to get at least a ticket, or maybe even arrested because of some shithead. Man, my insurance is going to go up too, I bet."
    3. "Oh shit, I just hit some innocent person with my car. I really hope they are OK. I need to immediately stop and check on them."

    This should be entertaining. Im not tracking responses, so be honest. Its time to see where our priorities really are

    If I was barely paying attention I wouldn't have been able to tell if they were homeless or not. But if I could somehow immediately know for sure that it was a homeless person then #2.

    There's no way I'd do the option 4 "get the hell out of there" - if you accidentally hit someone and immediately call the cops you may or may not get into trouble depending on the circumstances. If you accidentally hit someone and then just run you will absolutely be in trouble - "go to prison for murder" kind of trouble. there are so many traffic and security cameras out there now that even if there are no witnesses you'll still get caught if you tried to run.
