bam and scram

bam and scram

The act of causing or contributing to a motor-vehicle accident on the road and fleeing the scene so as not to be identified and held responsible. Luckily, a more concentrated police presence near busy intersections has meant that there's only been one bam and scram over the past two years. No, officer, he left the scene—it was a bam and scram! Because it was a bam and scram, police are now looking for witnesses to identify the driver.
