There's a difference between getting into an accident while driving normally and intentionally risking your life doing "spirited driving."

Of course there's risks and everyone knows that, that still doesn't stop the fact that a man was in critical condition after an accident? Sorry but you're coming off very cold here, I mean are you saying that anyone dies in a car crash should be blamed even if it's not their fault saying, well you should've flown because statistically it's safer. A good man was hurt, I think that's enough to be sorry for. “While this is a truly unfortunate incident, I believe we all have to accept the risks that come with driving at 280mph.
