Watched a fatal car accident

Ok so I'm kind of tired and in the passenger seat of my new yaris, and lady is driving on the interstate back home. I notice a car coming up like a bat out of hell on our right hand side. He drives up to us and for a couple moments I am able to see into his car (it's a small car like ours, but it's a scion). He had his cell phone out and was either texting or reading a text, and him and I even made tinted window eye contact briefly. The guy looked pretty young, maybe a college student. At the time we were doing 10 mph over the speed limit, so we were doing 80mph (which is where I cut off the limit on I-75, and my new car it is way easy to haul booty in and not notice).

Anyways he zips by us and disappears into the dark night ahead of us (the roads are slick with a drizzling rain also). I tell lady to slow down, and she does, gets down to about 65. Sure enough, within about 30 seconds we see cars putting on brakes and going to the left like they are avoiding something. His car slammed into the back of a full semi rig and was crumpled like a tin can. Radiator steam flying everywhere, windshield destroyed. Basically his car was now the size of a shopping cart.


Lady was very concerned and asked if we should pull over (there were already 2 or 3 cars including the trucker pulled over, and the car wasn't on fire), I told her we both know CPR, but that guy is clearly dead. When slowly passing the car I thought I saw his mangled body but wasn't sure. Lady seemed visibly upset by the whole ordeal, and I tried to explain (what she already knows) that when people do very stupid, highly dangerous things, eventually something goes bad and some force punches their ticket. I of course don't think anyone short of some criminals "deserve to die", but we no longer have predators to cull our herd of people who make very dangerous/bad decisions. This guy was going ATLEAST 110 mph on a rainy interstate road, cause he passed us like we were jogging. I'm not truly evil, If I saw the car on fire I would have stopped to see if there was anything to rescue from the flames (like his stereo LOL IM JOKING!), but that wasn't the case.

Late on the same strip of road, due to road construction all these other annoying people went as far as they could go on the left, to beat more cars, knowing full and well they should merge to the right, and they had all the distance in the universe to do just that. I complain about them being douchebags and she says "Yeah well if they are that in a hurry, I will let them in"...Not like I wouldn't have to let them in if I was driving, i'm not that vindictive, but selfish behavior while driving annoys me. I could tell she was still bothered by the guy that just probably died due to his stupid actions. She called me "evil". Am I that evil for thinking people who make dumb dangerous decisions sometimes die due to those decisions, and we shouldn't be shocked?

BTW I'm not all bad. A long time ago I saw a good samaritan (trying to help another car accident) cross the street back to phone for help and he was killed in front of me by another car and I almost ran over his body, and I still to this day feel horrible for him and his family.

It isn upsetting when a young life is taken due to complete stupidity. I dont think you are evil.

It never ceases to amaze me how stupid I was when I was young, but I was a lucky one. My oldest nephew wasnt.

Sometimes people never learn. I hate to beat on the younger ones because I know a lot of stupid older folks also.

Yeah I mean I did my fair share of stupid crap when I was younger, including making bombs (one blew up in our face). But I can never recall us being dumb enough to drive 110+ mph while playing our game boy game (or something else equally distracting) on rain slicked roads. That pretty much is begging for the grim reaper to pay you a visit. I dunno. I guess it's human nature to some extent, but when it comes to innocent good people who die from other means aside from highly dangerous stupid actions, I feel for them and their loved ones big time. But the guy from last night...Not so much.
