When somebody chooses to race on the public highway, take risks, drive while drunk or under the influence of drugs the word accident is not relevant. When someone is so out of control through anger or an inability to control themselves what then happens is not an accident. They should leave the car behind and take a bus.
Nobody has to drive a car.
When a person decides to race, drink drive, or has no control of their temper while behind the wheel they put other people's lives at risk. These are all conscious decisions by the driver - they have probably raced, driven drunk or lost their temper before. They can feel overconfident because they are encased in the protective shell of the car and don't realise how much damage they are likely to cause. The pedestrian or cyclist is not protected and the other motorist may be totally unaware of the condition of the reckless driver and so be unable to prepare him or herself for actions which are totally unpredictable. When the cases come to court it often happens that the person standing in the dock is praised and built up as a sound citizen.
