Stuff like this could be prevented, but instead "freedom" for maniacs who are behind the wheel.

This makes me so angry, every time. Over 100 in a 45mph zone? ... Get this man off the road, asap. It's unbelievable what you get to hear as a cyclist, but driving like this is somehow excusable with: "It was road Rage!" ...

Imagine if he hadn't killed anyone. Then it would just be "funny", "hey he was just having fun", "Hey, all younger guys do this stuff!"

It's so twisted. I live in Europe, and it's not as severe here with cars in comparison to the US but it's still shocking to me how people drive here every day. On the Highway it's especially crazy to me, people just don't care. They tailgate, they don't indicate they want to change lanes ... like at all. And I don't even have a driver's licence, it's just driving me nuts from the passenger seat.
