What would you do if a car hit you, and the driver drove off without even stopping to see if you were ok?

In the past, unless you had eye witnesses that helped you take down the car plate number, the hit-and-run driver would have been able to get off scot-free.

Luckily for Elise Tay, someone's in-car camera had filmed her accident on 6 July.

Tay has posted the video on Facebook appealing for eye witnesses after she was hit by a taxi. The taxi in question subsequently drove off without rendering assistance.

In the video post she said,

"6 July 2015 between 8.15pm- 8.20pm, Jalan Bukit Merah (Kampong Bahru Junction) Got into an accident while jogging around my area. The green man was on and the red hunchback Trans Cab ran me over somehow. He didn't stop or attempt to slow down and simply drove off. I'm just thankful that I was paying a little attention and wasn't running faster than I was. That said, I will find you (the driver). Because you're irresponsible and didn't bother to stop, I don't think you should be allowed to drive at all. I'm not sure if I'll be able to retrieve the license plate from the video but if anyone's around the area during that time and you saw anything, please let me know. P/S: Thank you to the kind gentleman and lady who had offered assistance, appreciate it. P/P/S: I'm typing this in the hospital with a mild concussion and a bruised rib but other than that, I'm fine (Yay!)"
