Running off the road while driving would IMO be comparable to being on the range shooting and errantly sweeping someone with the muzzle or accidentally shooting someone else's target.mamabearCali wrote:An accident while preparing food is not even close--but an running off the road while driving a car is very similar. Both can be lethal, both require several saftey rules to have been broken by someone for it to occur. We don't take people's license away for that the first, second, or sometimes even the third time this happens. I see them as very similar. Incidentally I keep my knives as sharp as possible because the times I have cut myself the worst have usually been when I am exerting more force than should be needed to accomplish a task.
In this case, it was like someone wanting to see your new car parked in the garage. You open the garage door, and a crowd of people gather around it to see the car. Then, you get in and start it up, put it in gear, shove the gas pedal to the floor and go screaming out of the garage through the crowd of people and luckily you just didn't hit anyone on your way down the driveway. That person needs to be ticketed for careless and imprudent driving and potentially have their drivers license suspended or yanked.
Well I would say one is quite a bit on purpose (and James Bondish) and one is unintentional but indeed negligent. More like having your friends around you in your new standard car and thinking you have the parking break engaged you put the car into neutral your friends jump out of the way as it crashes into the wall across the street. No one was hurt--they could have been--but still you are mostly just stupid.
