Very irresponsible driver!
A terrible surveillance footage has captured the moment a driver hit an elderly man who was dragged along a road on the bonnet and continued driving.
The 77-year-old pensioner has been in his home in Gorton, Manchester, when he saw a silver Kia Venga crashed with his car parked in a wasteland.
The old man went outside and tried to stop the driver, but the driver moved back for a second and then accelerated at the man and lifted him onto his car.

Even though the 77-year-old failed to move after being hit, the motorist didn't stop and got away. The injured was sent to the hospital for treatment.
Police were called to the scene after 4:10 pm on 10 March and are appealing for information to come forward.

Detective Constable Jason Bell, of GMP's City of Manchester division, said, "This was an appalling incident and I find it completely disgusting that the offender sped off, leaving the man lay in the road.
"He showed no regard for the safety of the victim who had simply asked the man to stop after hitting his car," he added. "Not only did the driver fail to stop after a collision, but he seriously endangered the life of a man with his reckless actions."
MANCHESTER, England (AP) — Manchester City and Croatia defender Joško Gvardiol needs surgery this week for a fracture to his right leg and faces months out ahead of the World Cup.
Man City's defense was weakened again on Tuesday when Portugal center back Rúben Dias was confirmed to be out for up to six weeks with a hamstring strain, coach Pep Guardiola said.
Speculation has circulated City could target signing Crystal Palace captain Marc Guéhi, the England center back whose projected move to Liverpool four months ago fell through in the final hours of transfer deadline day.
Gvardiol and Dias were injured on Sunday in a 1-1 draw at home to Chelsea that left the team trailing Premier League leader Arsenal by six points.
The 23-year-old Gvardiol “suffered a tibial fracture to his right leg,” City confirmed in a statement late Monday.
He will have surgery this week and City gave no timetable for his return.
Even without two key defenders, the 2023 European champion is well set to advance directly to the Champions League round of 16 in March. The club is fourth in the 36-team standings with two league-phase games left this month at Bodo/Glimt and hosting Galatasaray.
Croatia starts its World Cup group on June 17 against England at the Dallas Cowboys stadium. Croatia then plays Panama in Toronto and Ghana in Philadelphia.
Gvardiol is likely to miss Croatia’s visit to the United States in March for warmup games against Colombia and Brazil.
