Let the old lady take the fall.

You're driving along one day after work down a quiet near empty road. A car passes you going the other way but you don't really think about it. Then you remember something hilarious you saw on the Internet the previous night and are distracted momentarily, causing you to swerve your car onto the sidewalk and accidentially run over a teenage girl who happened to be there. (also destroying your dashcam if you had one, removing any footage that might have existed)

As you rush out of your car to check on the girl, you discover that she is very very dead. At the same moment the car which passed you reverses and an old lady rushes out apologizing and crying.

For some reason (possibly due to her age and tiredness) she is convinced that she did something terribly wrong that caused you to have to swerve and that it was all her fault. She dials 9/11, screaming in sorrow that they need an ambulance and police to come and it is all her fault and she is so sorry for what she has done.

In reality her driving was immacuate and you were the one who did it. You know this. But no one else does. You and the old lady are the only ones around for miles, there was no record of what happened, and the old lady is incorrectly convinced that it was her doing. Openly about to confess as such to the police.

wPxlqgU

Would you reveal the truth? With manslaughter charges, losing your liscence, not being able to provide for your family, the family of the victim hating you forever all looming the balance?

OR would you play along with grandma's less than sharp brain and let her take the fall? After all she's lived a full life, you haven't. Your guilt can handle that.... Can it?

What would you do?

There's no chance I'm getting away with it. The girl's blood is on my car and grandma confessing to anything doesn't matter. There will be manslaughter charges for me no matter what.

Seems like a silly moral conundrum. It's like asking "You're going to jail and a random old lady is trying to implicate herself for no reason. Do you allow her to?"

Someone didn't read the topic

You said I ran over a girl. You didn't say that there was no evidence I ran over a girl--just that there was no dashcam footage. There's other things that point to the fact that I obviously did it.

The only thing the police might not be able to figure out just from examining the crime scene is that the old lady didn't do anything wrong.

Hence "Do you allow an old lady to implicate herself for no reason?"

The old lady isn't claiming she ran over the girl.

She's claiming her bad driving causes you to swerve and hit the girl. It was her fault not yours.

Even thought it wasn't and she is mistaken

And there is no evidence at all that would prove her wrong since she did drive past a moment before you swerved and hit the girl.

Calling 911 immediately and owning up to it would actually go a long way in not being charged or having a very reduced sentence.

All you guys who would take the blame when you can get away with a serious crime/incident are the first ones who would throw your principles out the window if you were in that situation.

If shes senile enough to blame this on herself, fuck it. Shes had a good run.

That's not true at all.

More than one person can be at fault. You are absolutely at fault. The only question is do you let granny admit fault that she didn't do or not. Her admission of fault, even if it were true does not absolve you of your own fault

She still will have to go through the process of whatever legal proceedings take place, including all fees, fines, and even possibly being arrested. She will also have to take the guilt to her grave, regardless of how soon that will be. All over something she didn't even do.

There's literally no justifying allowing her to take the blame unless you're just a generally terrible person.


Ill trade that guilt for my freedom any day. Sue me.

Let the old lady take the fall

Lets break it down

Old lady is old and I'm 25. My life is objectively more valuable.

Old lady believes she did it. Why not? We all lie to ourselves one way or another to live the life we want to see

I got too much to live for I'd remember it cuz I'd have a guilty conscience about it but come on lol

I didnt read any other response but I really doubt if this actually happened ANY of you would take the moral high road and admit to your wrongdoing

Don't get me wrong some people on the planet Earth are fking angels and would take the fall and some of those disciples could be responding here but yeah most of us are selfish assholes and I believe none of you on the side opposed to mine lol
