I didn't see the video... Was he doing this in traffic? Was there oncoming traffic? Were there people in the lanes? Were pedestrians about?
Not excusing it - but there are degrees of reckless. If he's endangering just himself and his property along with a guardrail and some grass.... I don't give a rip what he's doing on the highway. Same thing if a motorcyclist wants to hit 150MPH on an open highway.... That's his life & property he's endangering, not others. Now, weaving in and out of traffic, playing chicken into other people's lanes, etc? That endagers other people and the consequences are horrific.
To sit here and pretend no one reading this has gone 100+ miles an hour and are following all traffic laws at all times is naive to me.
I believe in your personal freedom to do whatever crap you want that doesn't affect society around you in any meaningful way. Is there a better way to instantly free up $4.5mil of cap space than a fireball of high speed glory? I think not!
