High chance of things not going your way and ending up in a lot worse position. I know a guy who hit an elderly woman and she died a month later in hospital. He and another guy were in the car, and completely panicked, the car swerved into a field. Ran away from the scene on foot, incredibly dumb since cops got license plates anyway. Funny thing is, when they started to flee, the guy who was driving remembered he forgot his favorite music cassette tape in the car (it was way back like 15-20 years ago) and went back to get it. But didn't consider trying to find help for the woman he hit. Panic state I guess, actions were completely unreasonable. Other guy was telling this story and it definitely made rounds in the neighborhood. He got sentenced to I think 2 or 3 years in prison and few more on parole.
