People who create stories with exceptional details and zero evidence should expect to be questioned.
That said, if the details end up being wrong (it happens, emotions run high for some people while driving, especially in a moment of road rage or getting pulled over), then you'd expect that person to come forward and apologise. It's all you can ask.
Sunday apologised, and I think that's enough. What more could you possible want? I assume calgaryblood will get the tape and apologise if it turns out he was wrong, just like I'm sure a few people would happily apologise if he posted the tape and it showed his version was accurate.
I disagree with Oling's approach. When we start attacking people for apologising because it isn't good enough we only make things worse. Admitting you were wrong is hard, and taking the extra step to ensure those people are shamed and criticisized is petty and sad.
Good on Sunday for owning up to her mistake, especially if she genuinely felt that way at the time.
