I look at every crash as what the person did or did not do to keep there self out of stupid situations. Just like when a car pulls out in front of a motorcycle but then you see the crash video and the guy was doing 80 in a 30. I think some of the ppl posting are looking at it not in a (human feelings) way but a mathematical way.

Better sir, this is the post your should have lead out with. ijs...
I see your common sense outlook on this, but here is another dose of common sense for you. People can't live their life holding back like that, it would be totally dull and unhappy. Taking controlled chances are just as much a part of life as anything else. That new job, that new relationship, divorce (yea... not all are good), speeding, passing bla bla bla.
Bottom line, if the cager hadn't done what he did, the most that would have been wasted is a little bit of time and gas. The cager seen those cars ahead just the same, so why do something completely unneeded to slow them down? It simply falls into the category of "it's all about me", nothing more (both parties but one went above and beyond). Which is why one got a ticket, the other is in jail.
