    My deepest regret is that nobody had a security camera to capture the moments of glory.

    Whether it's taking out a house, attempting to get through a bank drive through, or jackknifing a U-turn, there's a common theme here. Drivers get flustered, impatient, or angry and don't STOP to think it through. Instead when they meet "resistance" the answer always seems to be to "give it more throttle"...

    ... I mean, how much throttle do you think it took to tear the front off that house? Like, THAT's the answer?

    Mentally I think these drivers are like deer in the headlights, incapable of putting coherent thought together in a stressful situation. Better that they simply tore up some property and equipment than somebody's body or life.
