If you damaged your car because an unlicensed, uninsured driver in a car that's either a junker worth nothing, stolen or both intentionally caused an accident for whatever reason, I think it's probably safe to say you wouldn't be so stoic about letting bygones be bygones.

And yeah, I'm making assumptions about the unlicensed and uninsured parts. But if somebody did that to you would you really think, "Yeah, that temp tag is probably legit and that's a totally legal vehicle and the driver is otherwise an upstanding citizen suffering a fit of temporary road rage?" At best they're a fuckin' douchebag, still.
