I wouldnt stop if I thought the people that person was with would kill me.
Good call. Same here.
And I think you may have nailed his defense.
Most 21 year old drivers in Austin named Felipe Hernandez are either illegal, drunk, high, or have warrants, or are uninsured, or etc.
Why stop? The victim is at fault, and if you stop - YOU are going back to Mexico, or jail or worse.
(Please note. I’m just stating their rationale. I would of course stop. But I’m not an illegal, drunk, high, or have warrants, or uninsured, or etc.)
