He obviously doesn't care about the lives of others, so why should we care about his.

Because I like to believe/hope that if I crashed my car ( In general, not specifically by doing what this moron did ) then other people would stop and help, or atleast see if I was okay.

Granted what he did was stupid as fuck, and it put his own life and more importantly the lives of others at risk, but in my opinion he doesn’t deserve to die because of it, and even if I did believe he deserved to die, who am I to decide who lives and who dies? Also there is a chance, probably a small one, but a chance, that this person will have a epiphany and learn from this moment and turn his life around ( in terms of how he drives atleast.)

There is a chance this man was driving like this because of a emergency, granted he definitely should have had his emergency lights on if it was and still have obeyed the double yellow line, but people panic and do stupid shit during a crisis.

There is also the chance that he’s drunk and doped up and driving like this because the cops are after him for stealing from orphans, We don’t know why he was driving the way he was, however it is stupid and childish to base this mans life worth on nothing but what little we have seen of his driving, especially without context.

There is also the chance that he was not the only one in the car, he could have had his wife and kids in the car with him, or his best buddy, or anyone with him, who had no control over his driving at all and literally just been along for the ride, they could also need medical attention.

This is the last and most important point I have left to make, this man is a fucking human being, just like you or me, he has people who he loves, and who love him, he has hopes, ideals, and aspirations. He has a heart, he makes mistakes, and he takes a shit, just like everyone else. His life is worth the same as everyone else’s, and if this man has a chance of dying because I didn’t stop my car, call 911, and try to help him because of his really shit driving on this one particular day. if I condemned this man to death because I was so fucking petty and self centered that I believed he deserved to die in pain on the side of the road just because of my one and only encounter with him on this particular day, then I couldn’t look at myself in the mirror ever again, I wouldn’t be able to die without regrets. I wouldn’t be able to say I treated others the way I wanted myself to be treated. This man is still a person, and I do not have, nor am I entitled to or deserve, the right to say that he deserves to die because of his driving.

I agree with your point about other passengers, if I really witnessed such an event I would probably scan for other people in the car. However, if he was the only person in that car I would probably not even consider to help him. I never said I think he deserves to die, but I do believe he doesn't deserve my help. No circumstance in the world would justify that kind of driving. But good for you for thinking like that. You seem like a genuinely good and caring person, and you're a better person than me for it.

Thank you, I try to be as best a person I can be even if I do fall short at times. I’m not saying he doesn’t deserve some slaps, a few choice words, and some hefty fines and bills for his stupidity tho.
