Fact that you are licensed (hopefully), registered and insured yes its a whole different ballgame.
You have a headlight, taillight (nice thing when you’re behind these fools to know when they decide to slam on the brakes) blinkers for lane changes and insurance for when they inevitably crash and damage somebody elses property.
Hard to crash in NYC while doing a wheelie without hitting a person or another car.
I’m sure you’d be pissed as hell if they just damaged your new G and had no insurance and just ran off and you had no plate to take down or anything.
