Setting aside the fact that someone was or could have been seriously injured. And in no way do I defend the choices the driver made.
To me it's interesting how it seems to be human nature (myself included) that when an accident happens we go through each moment looking for a way to figure out how it could have been preventented. Or maybe even " how this could never happen to me". Also interesting is how often times it all is boiled down to the person responsible as just being "stupid". That's convenient because nobody wants to believe that some version of this could ever happen to them. And we all like to think that we are all smarter than average. lol.
Another thing I find interesting is how once "stupidity" is deemed the cause of the accident for some it triggers alot of anger. Some people show alot of disdain for those who they consider "stupid". What is the source of all that anger? Is it because they see themselves as a possible victim in the accident? Maybe. If it is possible to see yourself as a victim is it possible to see yourself as the person responsible? Probably not if you believe the person responsible is " stupid" because none of us are stupid. Right?
