“He hit me rather hard, going fairly fast. He starts to drive off, so I chase after him, reach in the window, and grab his steering wheel. And I say, ‘Normally, in a civilized society, when we hit someone with a truck, we might inquire as to their well-being.’ So he said, ‘I’m sorry,’ and I said, ‘Great. Try and be a little more careful and that would be fantastic, and so sorry to have troubled you.'”
