I drove to a bar last Saturday only about a mile from my place. I really didn’t intend on having more than a few drinks but you know how these things go. I don’t know exactly how much I had to drink but I found a credit card receipt in my pocket the next morning and the total was over $100, and this place usually gives me free drinks, so it must have been a lot.
My roommate told me the next morning that when I got home around 3 AM I was laughing about hitting this Mercedes in front of the laundromat we go to. It’s on the way between the bar and my apartment so I probably would have driven right by it, but obviously I don’t remember.
We walk over there (it’s only about 2 blocks) and sure enough this Mercedes was parked there with the front all smashed up. I don’t know much about cars but it’s the one with the headlights that go Oo..oO. (E class maybe?). It was a nice car but not anymore. Anyway this ******* was parked the wrong way on a one-way street. It he had been parked the right way I would have hit his back bumper and maybe the damage wouldn’t have been that bad. Am I still at fault for this accident?
Even if I had been sober I wouldn’t have stopped or called the cops because number one I don’t have a license (loooooong story) or insurance right now and number 2 the car is not registered. I don’t think it even has good plates. (My uncle owns a body shop and he gave me some old ones to put one so I wouldn’t get pulled over). The tires and brakes are also really ****ty which is why I never drive it on the highway. Oh and my brother borrowed it the other day and I think he left his gun in the glove compartment so I don’t certainly need that bull**** if a cop found it. I hear they don't take too kindly to that in NJ,
Anyway what should I do now? Can they trace it back to me somehow? Maybe I caught a break finally and they won’t catch me.
