The real morons are those who use their vehicles as weapons on public highways, and put innocent bystanders at risk. When one of these types kills someone, often because their judgement was impaired by alcohol or some such, it is rare they are punished adequately for the deed they have done, simply because they 'had no intent to kill'.

I'm afraid there are much worse programmes for glorifying such behaviour on television - I'm thinking particulalry of the 'Real Police Chases' type of voyeurism. It would be interesting to know if any research has been done to examine the effect of such programmes.

No matter what our opinions, Hammond was only putting himself at risk, and seems to have been the unfortunate victim of a tyre failure which can happen to anyone with disastrous consequences. Perhaps he was ill advised in taking the risk... but hindsight is such a wonderful thing!
