Speaking as someone who has been a terrified passenger more than once, another thing to consider is that maybe the driver didn't know they hit you. I have witnessed people who have hit mailboxes, pieces of junk on the side of the road, etc. It could have been someone on a bike for all they knew. One girl who used to work for me was so bad that she had 3 wrecks in one week and was on her 3rd rent car. How many times do we stop to see if we've run over someone after we hit a big pothole?

Try to think of how you would explain to the cops and the jury if they found the driver dead with her kids in car seats and then find her cell phone on floor and she was in the middle of sending a text message. Part of my CHL class was posing situations just like this where there could be two sides to the story.

These are the kind of things you have to think of and be prepared for when you start carrying. But I agree, if they come back for a second try, you may be justified. Just make sure they aren't coming back to see if you're okay. Pulling that trigger is forever.
