We have the same idiots here. I remember one night a guy hit a pole. When I called the police and gave the location and told the dispatcher that my husband had gone to see if anyone was hurt, she was happy because they now had the location. They had gotten a half a dozen calls from numerous locations saying someone had just hit a pole behind their house. They were all over a kilometer (half a mile) away.
No one hurt, but the driver left the vehicle at the scene.
