Lesson learned. Let's not give him a harder time.

no. lets wait until he kills a board members family driving recklessly (yes, 75 mph in the rain, on an on ramp changing lanes is reckless), then he can be given a hard time. as is often the case, its usually pure luck no one got injured or killed.

smashed into the guardrail protecting me from a 100 foot fall and stopped in the fast lane facing traffic. so, if someone in that fast lane hit him head on and died, could we give hime a harder time??

no amount of flogging can be enough as sometimes peer pressure is a good thing. if someone was street racing and crashed they would get ripped as well. he posted his stupidity on a public forum and can take his beating like a man.

Finally, someone who agrees with me. Don't get me wrong, i'm glad your ok and not hurt and that your Yaris only has minor damage, but take this as a lesson, learn from it. Not only is your life in your own hands behind a steering wheel, but everyone elses is too.

I've said enough, so before I get ridiculed for posting again I will unsubscribe from this thread.

Don't get me wrong. I want there to be less reckless drivers out there since I've had many close calls due to them, but I'm just saying that he most likely learned his lesson and probably will not speed anymore.

Also, I should have read his entire post. I didn't know he stopped in the fast lane; I thought he was just doing 75 in the rain and spun and hit a railing , and I do agree that he should be able to take the consequences of his actions.
