Sorry to hear what happened, but what ever happened to "Never leave the scene of an accident"? Seriously, I've been involved in accidents all over, and the best course of action has always been to call the cops and make them come to the scene, that's their job. I made the mistake of going to the police station for an accident ONCE, and I will never do it again.

here, if you call 911 they tell you if there is no injury then call the police station. if you call the police station they tell you that if there is no injury and no "problems" then they dont need to come. i once got into an accient with a guy who refused to give me any info, drivers lic, insurance, nothing! and it was a rental truck to boot. the cops finally showed up cuz we were gettin kind of heated and made him give me his info. in this case though, the idiot deceptively presented false paperwork.
out here, when you call 911(police), they respond by order of priority (im sure they do this everywhere too). a basic traffic accident is a low priority, especially out here with out cop-to-civilian ratio.
IMHO I think he did the right thing. he tried to clear up the scene appropritely and amicably. unfortunately, he was involved with someone who had bad intentions. A police presence would not have changed this in anyway. he didnt leave the scene of an accident, the two parties exchanged info and then left. you have to go home at some point, dont you?
