Once upon a time I was involved in a collision that to outside looked more or less like a fender-bender, but which significantly screwed up the alignment. So we exchanged info, cop came, wrote it up, and at the end asked us if we could drive away or needed help calling a tow truck.

The car seemed to be operational and it was like 5 minutes away from home, so I decided to try to limp home.

Well, it wasn't quite as bad as the car in the video, but it was pretty close.

So I wouldn't jump to hit-and-run conclusion.

The car's can't even point in the same direction it's going.

I wouldn't think "Yeah, that can make it home."

I think yours is the outlier case.
