I'd be quiet. Probably a gang member.

Moral of the story...the only good people in Vancouver are Flames fans.

If he's done it to you, who knows if he's done it before and may do it again and may leave someone in a worse condition than you were...I'd say report him.

In all fairness though could the police actually do something? Wouldn't he have to get anonymous Flames fan to report it as well as a witness? Other wise its rockstar's word against the drivers.

Yep. In the chaos of the moment, I didn't think to get the Flames fan's details.

Again, maybe he lurks CP...

I see this all the time. People here seem to think the person on the right has the right of way in a traffic circle, instead of the person already in the circle.

You're forgetting one rather large detail. That dent on the drivers door.

Sure, if the police bother to search for the perp. But really unless rockstar and a witness go to them. I personally don't think they're going to do squat. That's like putting an APB out for a man 'who has recently drunk milk'.

The police have an obligation to check out all complaints. If rockstar says the driver has a dent in his car door from the incident, wouldn't the dent prove said person was telling the truth?

Seriously - report the d-bag. Hit and run is a serious offence.

And the Lawyer has spoken. I stand corrected.

Dude....come on. It is not that big of a deal. You call the cops and file a report. The cop will most likely laugh that you didn't report it because of a helmet infraction.

I would feel some responsibility to take the loser down.
