Wha a silly thing to do. Maybe he knew he was in the wrong, maybe drunk too.

No maybe here, the simple fact he did not have a valid drive's license is enough to say he was in the wrong for sure no matter how the accident happened.

Using the wording silly is silly indeed.
Hit and run are happening often in Japan, which already shows that people care more about themselves than someone else
