3EE U44
I witnessed an accident yesterday. I was sitting at a stop sign on the 75 service drive at John R when out of the corner of my eye, a burgundy 90's Ford Explorer t boned a gold Pontiac Grand AM. It wasn't life threatening or anything, but it did cause a fair amount of damage to the Grand AM. I would venture to say that the passengers door probably wouldn't open afterward. It's the kind of accident that would probably ruin your week or maybe even month. It appeared that everyone was alright so I drove off.
I was stopped at the next light like 100 yards ahead when I see the burgundy Explorer just drive around the Grand AM and is approaching the light right next to me. That bastard! a hit and run. I made sure to the get the license plate as it drove by 3EE U44 and I quickly found something to write it on. As I continued driving, I thought to myself that I need to call the police as soon as I get home. Then it occurred to me, this is Detroit. No one makes police reports in Detroit because it's pointless. It takes 2 hours to get a cop to show up and then it's more hassle than it's worth to make the report. I've never filed a police report for any accidents in the city of Detroit (I've been in 3) for that reason. I'm quite sure the gold Grand AM did not file a police report.
So then I thought, maybe I should go back and find the gold Grand AM and give them the info. But why? In the state of michigan, a person can only get $500 from another driver who hits their car. Michigan is a no fault auto insurance state. It's your insurance that pays for the repairs on your car. Yeah I suppose that they could have gotten the $500 but then they would have to make a police report and it's back to square one.
It's a load of crap that you can't get justice because of the system. It's also a shame that people have zero sense of personal responsibility anymore.
Screw you 3EE U44! you dirty bastard without a conscience.
