If a person reversing in their driveway hits you as a pedestrian, is it acceptable to punch them in the face to make them/give them a nosebleed?

This really shouldn't have made me laugh...

No, you can't hit a person for something they did by accident.

Yeah that's a great idea. Be sure to set his house on fire before you leave too.

Is it acceptable to take dumb people out behind the barn and shoot them?

typical spiritualist who doesn't get common road laws.

SO horribly wrong! I am a lawyer, I've been practicing for 36 years, and I frequently represent people injured in automobile accidents. Try again!

Nope. They hit you by accident, you assaulted them on purpose.

Legally, you’re probably giving up your right to prosecute or sue them. But I’d say if it’s worth it, you’d be even.

No you can’t just assault someone for an accident.
