WATCH: "I'm Audi!" as driver flees scene after causing accident

They don't call it a hit and run for nothing!

In South Africa, we've seen drivers flee the scene of an accident faster than the speed of the accident and it's clearly no different across the world.

In a video that's gone viral on social media, an Audi driver can be seen hitting the road after smashing into another little red car.

Watch the video below as the driver pulls an "I'm Audi, and flees the scene of accident".

We're not sure what his reason could be for fleeing the scene, but with the high cost of living right now, we're pretty sure it has something to do with the driver not having car insurance anymore. All we know is that this is one of the things to not do when you're involved in an accident.

But, let's not speculate and just make sure we all stay vigilant on the roads and do the right thing if you're ever in a situation like this.

So, if you're ever in a car accident, what should you do?
