Fine, I am not saying you give this option to every doorknob driver out there, but to flat out say you are going to treat this robotically and call your insurance company on every little thing to me seems a bit callous.
Everyone is welcome to do what they feel is right based on the situation. My hope is people approach these things with a bit of humanity but maybe thats expecting too much.
