What is a "hit and run"?

A hit and run occurs when a driver is involved in an accident but leaves the scene without stopping to provide information or help those affected. This illegal action can happen after a collision with another vehicle, a pedestrian, or an object. The law requires drivers to stay at the scene, exchange details, and report the accident if necessary. Failing to do so can lead to severe legal consequences, including fines, license suspension, and even jail time.

Idiom

in a way that is instant and has no delay

What is the origin of the idiom "on the spot" and when to use it?

The origin of the phrase "on the spot" can be traced back to the late 16th century. The phrase likely originated from the idea of being physically present at a specific spot or location, emphasizing the need for prompt and instant response. It is often used in situations that demand quick thinking, problem-solving, or adaptability.

What is a "tailback"?

A tailback is a position in American football, typically located behind the quarterback in the backfield. The main job of the tailback is to carry the ball on running plays, attempting to advance it down the field by avoiding tackles from the opposing team. Tailbacks are usually fast and agile, with the ability to make quick decisions and dodge defenders. In addition to running the ball, tailbacks may also catch passes, block for the quarterback, and occasionally throw the ball. They play a key role in both the running and passing game.

What is a "head-on collision"?

A head-on collision is a type of car accident where two vehicles crash into each other from the front. This usually happens when the vehicles are traveling in opposite directions and end up in the same lane. Head-on collisions are often serious because both cars are moving toward each other, which can cause significant damage and increase the risk of injury to the people inside. Emergency services usually respond quickly to these accidents, and the cause can be anything from driver error to poor road conditions.

What is "road rage"?

Road rage refers to aggressive or violent behavior by a driver towards others on the road, often triggered by frustration or anger. This can include actions like tailgating, excessive speeding, rude gestures, shouting, or even dangerous driving such as cutting off other vehicles. Road rage is often a response to stressful traffic situations, but it can lead to accidents or escalate into further conflicts. It is considered a serious safety concern, as it increases the risk of crashes and can harm both the driver displaying road rage and others on the road.
