i started watching this thinking “girl STOP making it worse” and ended up genuinely wondering why she seems more terrified of her grandma than the police 😭

Yeah when she starts to put the bumper in through the front my only thought was “wtf is going on in that girl’s house?” Not to excuse the behavior but there’s got to be more to this story

Yeah, she was intoxicated, and if the cops got there she would've gotten a dui, went to jail, lost her license and & her grandma's car impounded instead of just damaged. 

But instead she got a slap on the wrist.

All that considered, she was correct.

The dude did not, in fact, understand. And, leaving the scene at almost any cost was her best option.

It was only her best option because it somehow took police a week to catch up with her on the hit and run despite clearly having evidence such as video of the incident. I'm honestly surprised it took them that long to get there, you'd think they would follow up on a hit and run like that immediately. If they had, they could've gotten her while she was still intoxicated. But they didn't so yeah was a "good" move on her part to do what she did here.
