Have you ever considered why we have over 40K deaths in the U.S. every year in motor vehicle accidents? It's not because of ultra high-speed driving. Think instead about the total "area under the curve" of exposure of the public to danger from this guy's stunt, compared to what we see every day: millions of people spending a lifetime on sloppy, ignorant, unaware driving. Add to that the effects of alcohol. In Wisconsin we routinely see repeat DWI offenders. A few years ago, a repeat offender on his way to his 9th conviction killed a child. So who should really be in jail?
I'm not saying I'm in favor of what this guy did. There was an element of risk (which he acknowledged, otherwise he wouldn't have re-written his will), quite a bit of expense and time, and all for what? But to single him out as a highway public menace is ridiculous when the whole country consists of highway public menaces.
