I was run down by a car. What should I do? Call the police?

I was driving home down a back road and this car that was way behind me suddenly sped up I could hear him coming. I'm in a 2000 Honda Civic and he was in a boxy looking mustang I think and he flew up behind me fast. So I sped up to but I couldn't lose him and before I knew it my whole car was vibrating and rumbling from his. So I just pulled over and he aggressively went past. Anyway I think I blew a headgasket and my engine is knocking bad. Should I report this guy? I have his liscence plate #.

WTF are you talking about?
You didn't get "run down". You pulled over and got passed.
Sure. You can report him for speeding. It IS against the law, but, you blowing a head gasket is your own fault.
I seriously doubt the cops are going to go looking for this guy just because you report him for speeding.

edit:
LP&00, True that. My water pump went out and I blew a head gasket sitting at a traffic light.

Police can't do anything unless they catch the guy in the act.

Besides, it's your fault for the damage. You should have known the condition of your engine. You should have pulled over and let him pass etc. List goes on.

For all we know hey, maybe it wasn't because of the fast driving that blew your motor. Maybe the motor is just old and its a coincidence that it blew after you drove it fast.

I HAD THIS HAPPEN ONCE ON MY MOTORCYCLE. MY NEIGHBOR WHO IS COP SAID YOU CAN GET THE LICENSE PLATE NUMBER WE CAN GO TO THEIR HOUSE BUT IF THEY DENY DOING IT WHICH PEOPLE LIKE THAT USUALLY DO HE SAID THEY CAN DO NOTHING.

Oh gosh yes! Report him before he kills someone!

And tell the police you were racing a Mustang and your engine blew up?

Let us know how that works out for you?

What are the Police gonna do? Your CLAIMING that he was speeding, do you have proof? Sounds like your under the impression that HE blew your motor.

YOUR THE SAME FOOL, CALL THE POLICE

I'd do so. It is leaving the scene of an accident, on top of assault with a motor vehicle.

Report him for what? He didn't do anything!

Unless a cop witnessed it, they aren't going to do anything. They didn't cause your engine problems.

  • What will happen if the police catch me on my dirtbike? I live in Md. The bike is a Honda cr85r with full fmf There's some *****( I don't no where she comes from ) keeps claiming she called the police, I act polite and all, she is a real ***** despite my manors
  • Do you think if they call a car a Sport model it should go fast? I remember when I think the Honda Fit/Jazz was called the "Sport model" and it got criticised for having soft suspension. These days "Sport" is used in most cars is used on the one with the most features and not fast cars very much. Should the ones with the most features be calling something else rather than sports?
  • What do you call that square metal that protrudes in Honda CRV underside? My uncle has a Honda CRV and It is always a bummer, also a photo bummer seeing that metal that is visible when looking at the front of the car. My uncle sometimes go on harsh roads on it and most of the time it catches some twigs, brushes vines, even have few dents after hitting some rocks… I mean what is that? I know does something to its suspension but come on it kinda ugly to look at especially its usually the first thing people will notice.
  • Why does my car engine rev up and down? It revs up and down all the way up to 3x rpm and down? Also when i step on the gas pedal it revs up all the way to the top 8x rpm and stays right there even when i let go of the gas pedal. Please anyone who can tell me why this happens? This is a 1995 honda civic by the way
