If you don't have one, get one. They are cheap insurance. Christmas is coming, add it to your wish list. And yes I have one.
This is from last weekend, at 0:07 my buddy was rear-ended and the driver took off. It was the second car to pass him, the white pickup was not involved.

This white Chevy HHR slide into the back of my car in Shelbyville KY on 11-15-2017. License plate "015 XKX". When I stepped out of my car to talk to them they sped off and never stopped. Damage to my vehicle was very minor but as the video shows it was still a good jolt.
At the time I didn't call the police. First I wanted to make sure I got the plate of the vehicle and second I wasn't 100% sure it was that vehicle until I was able to watch the dashcam video. After the impact I looked behind me and couldn't see anything, it was night and raining. Out my side mirror I could see a turn signal and that was it. The truck that rolls past after the impact sat too high and I would have seen their headlights. As the video shows when you hear the other car engine rev the headlights swerve in the road. Plus they took off like a bat out of hell trying to get away.
