Well, not paying attention sometimes costs lives, don't u think? This example is rather harmless, as he was driving pretty slow since he had enough time to pull back and correct his mistake.
He's not the guy who would kill someone, it's others who drive like total maniacs. What about those night street racers? Did they convict any of them?
As I could see, everybody drive very fast here and 80km/h speed limit in the city doesn't help at all. On the other side, 120 km/h limit at highways is also ridiculous, comparing to the city limit which is only slightly lower.
It seems the traffic laws are all pretty much messed up...
