But you have to admit that a bit of wear and tear is part of the risk of owning a car. And it's just a machine that gets you from point A to point B, nothing worth getting in a fight over for god's sake.

Sure, it's nothing to get in a fight over, but come on Lurkette, it is common respect for someone's property we are talking about. It isn't about men or women being better drivers, or people who speed in the slow lane. This thread is simply about respecting someone else's property. If someone bumped my truck and owned up to it, I wouldn't be upset. If I saw them do it and they just up and left the scene, I would definitely have an issue with it and I would confront them in a courteous manner. You are right in saying that a bit of wear and tear is to be expected. If you were in traffic Lurktte, and someone behind you accidentally bumped you a bit, then sped off without a second thought, would you still have the same viewpoint, or is it reserved for a parked car, and why?
