Just because you are watching videos where they ended in pedestrians or shops like in this case! These are just small percentage of all the cases where drunk, irresponsible and crazy drivers are involved. Most of them go unnoticed by the news when they are ending in some trees, or canyons. Its a bias

[@hatshepsutiv]

This is so scary. I went to visit my mom in her hometown. And we went to Panera bread to eat and after we left this guy came up behind us and kept ramming my mom’s car. My 87 year old granddaddy was in the car. The guy also hit several other people on the way past us. He got off by claiming it was medical. I call BS nothing looked wrong with that man. And he didn’t leave in the ambulance. My mom had to pay for her own damage. She couldn’t close her trunk. We weren’t hurt but could have been. He also hit other people after pushing us off the road. His rage ended right by a school with children at the playground. Progressive got him out of it. Lawyers would only help if we had injuries. The insurance company handled it as a driving w/o insurance claim.

In Japan, with an alcohol level of 0.15 mg per 1L of breath, a driver is considered to be Driving Under the Influence (DUI), which is punishable by imprisonment with work for up to 3 years and a fine of up to JPY 500,000 ($3500USD). Around 2002, people there got sick of innocent ppl getting killed by drunk drivers. This law change dramatically reduced the number of deaths at the hands of alcoholics behind the wheel.

When impaired by alcohol, your reaction time is impaired/slowed down. You may think you pressed the brake pedal, realizing that you didn't even move your leg. He was probably so drunk he didn't know how to stop.

[@eufrosniad994]

@@Zivety I am not an expert, but my thinking was that this is not a case of slow reaction time. He clearly was speeding for a considerable distance. Ran through 4 stop signs. He was going on a joy ride. The sad fact is that these things are impossible to prevent in our current state of society. Rampant individualism means that there is no one who can spot these nut cases or keep them from even getting to that level till it is too late. Is suspect that as time goes on, we will only see more and more cases like this and worse.
