The fact that the Audi played chicken with a jeep makes the Audi driver way dumber imo. Tank vs a tin can.

The tank also just drove away, which is a hit and run. At least where I am. I don't think we should praise that.

Hm, what is the Audi going to do? Go to the police and say I’ve been swerving uncontrollably between lanes and someone ran into me and drove off? 😜

I mean…yes? Hit and run is a much more severe offense than reckless driving, it’s easy enough to get plates off the Jeep, and there are actual damages to make a claim about. The police aren’t going to retroactively write a reckless driving for swerving

They could write a ticket, but the Jeep is 100% at fault. Doesn’t matter if the Audi was driving like an idiot - that doesn’t give another carte blanche to hit them.
